Given this scope, patient flow technology is not always considered a top-tier priority for CIOs. Halifax Health\u2019s CIO, Tom Stafford, was one of those people\u2014until he attended TeleTracking\u2019s 2017 Client Conference [TeleCon17] and learned about the integral role patient flow plays in overall operations and why it deserves top-tier attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This story can be found in the&nbsp;Fall 2018 Issue of TeleTracking&#8217;s Patient Flow Quarterly Magazine.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eadn-wc04-11971913.nxedge.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/tech-leadership-halifax-health-teletracking-pfq-fall18-issue-11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the full issue.<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eadn-wc04-11971913.nxedge.io\/media\/1586\/halifax-health-tom-stafford.png\" alt=\"Halifax Health CIO Tom Stafford\"><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Q.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/em>Tell us a bit about your background, Tom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>A.<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;I\u2019m a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy, and have a bachelor\u2019s degree in Aerospace Engineering from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University as well as a master\u2019s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Central Florida. I joined Halifax Health more than 10 years ago after a decade working as an engineer and product developer in the medical device industry. I\u2019m proud to be a part of an organization that, regardless of someone\u2019s station in life, they can count on us to provide them with top-notch care.
