About the Book

According to recent estimates, women comprise over 47 percent of employees in healthcare with less than 28% of them in leadership roles. It is no secret that the field of healthcare information technology (HIT) has been an industry largely composed of men. This continues to be the case, despite progress over the last decade with society embracing greater inclusiveness and diversity. Men still make up the overwhelming majority in this field and it continues to be an uphill battle for women. While the industry is changing, the changes are slow to happened and women are still underrepresented in tech leadership even though they have demonstrated superior skill sets.

Having worked in HIT for over 25 years, the author recognized that it is still possible to be misinformed on some issues pertaining to these matters. He used to assume that most women would be uninclined to work in the field of technology, but there are several factors that come into play that influences the decisions made by career-driven women.

The turning point for him came in an unexpected way: his own daughter shared with him that she was interested in pursuing a career in HIT. This led him to investigate the challenges women faced when entering the field. He discovered that there were a great many challenges women needed to overcome and deal with and that he to find a way to better guide my daughter in this incredibly rewarding but also challenging field. As a result, he went in search of strong female examples in the industry for guidance. The knowledge these women have shared with is invaluable, and it is where he received the inspiration for this book.

This book will include features and/or interviews of extremely successful women in HIT who are considered experts in the industry and are well known in their respective fields. From tech companies to health systems to private practices and more, and from highly-ranked titles such as Chief Information Officers (CIOs), insights will be obtained from diverse perspectives. The goal of the book is to feature 50 to 100 of the industry's brightest female pioneers who are willing to share insightful lessons backed by several years of experience, as well as tips for navigating a successful career in HIT. While successful women have a tendency of empowering other women to succeed, it is not possible, for them to speak to every young woman looking for advice. The intent of this book is to provide the opportunity to capture stories from highly successful women to inspire the next generation who want to pursue a career in HIT on a much larger scale and to inspire those already working in the field who are struggling to advance in their careers.

The author also provides guidance on safety when traveling, attending tradeshows, events at hotels and more. The book will also include advice on negotiating a competitive salary and a sample employment agreement.
