from the Publisher The CEO Edition Publisher: Michael Jones IT Michael Jones PUBLISHER Managing Editor: Karen Kimbell to offer readers The CEOs of Health Care by MD News. This is our third annual special edition, in which we shine a spotlight on a particular aspect of the local healthcare industry. IS MY PLEASURE To get a read on the current state of the healthcare industry in Greater Boston Greater Boston, we headed straight for the corner office and asked MJONES@MDNEWS.COM a number of healthcare CEOs in the area to give us their views of 508-888-1502 the latest trends at both their specific locations and throughout the industry. We asked them to talk about recent technological advances, changes in the delivery of health care, the growing importance of electronic health records, and how they thought both state and federal healthcare reform had impacted and would continue to impact their work. The answers we received make for some fascinating reading and offer a glimpse of some of the issues that face Boston-area healthcare providers. As always, sincere thanks go to all who helped us pull these stories together. This edition was more challenging than a typical edition of MD News in that regard, as the CEOs' full schedules can make it more difficult to arrange interviews with them than even with the busy physicians with whom we usually work. The efforts of the various media relations departments in helping us track down photos and complete interviews are greatly appreciated. We'll be back to our normal publishing schedule next month, and plans are already well underway for the rest of 2014. Now is the time to reach out to me at mjones@mdnews.com if you have a story you think we should be covering. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this special edition of MD News — The CEOs of Health Care.
