Leading with Intention to Promote Diversity and Inclusion: Ann Barnes Discusses Opportunities and Challenges for Women in Healthcare

Making it to the C-suite and becoming a successful leader in a healthcare organization can be challenging for women. Depending on the organization, it takes women 3 to 5 years longer than men to reach the C-Suite. It's even more unlikely to see female leaders when it comes to the healthcare technology space. In fact, in 2017, only 4 women held executive roles in healthcare technology. In this episode, we're talking to Ann Barnes, CEO at the IT company Intelligent Medical Objects, about the opportunities and challenges that women face in their journey toward leadership roles in healthcare technology. This episode was created in collaboration with Intelligent Medical Objects, which provides medical terminology solutions to healthcare organizations so that hospitals and clinicians can improve the healthcare experience and ensure value-based care delivery.
