ABOUT PEGGY YENA

I began my career in a Banner hospital lab. In other words, as an IT executive and VP of Quality Management and Compliance, I am clinically trained but also “speak IT.” Understanding the needs of clinical staff from the inside, what I have been able to do across my career in technology is communicate the importance of IT compliance to clinicians, but also communicate clinical needs to staff in IT and application development / SDLC. Truly, it is a two-way street. What I have found is that “traffic” flows easier when everyone understands one another. Projects are completed on time (even on aggressive implementation schedules). We are able to stick to budgets without going over. And employee engagement / employee satisfaction is a given.Hands-down the best part of my favorite roles have been rooted in collaboration. And it should occur on ALL levels from entry-level technicians to CIO. “If you take out the team in teamwork, it’s just work.
