Diana Sharkey

As a healthcare technology executive, I possess deep expertise optimizing IT operations and systems and defining technology strategies that support clinical and business operations. I’ve worked with hospitals ranging in size from 100 to 2000 beds, managed operating budgets up to $20M and directed capital projects with budgets up to $25M. I am a strategic partner who ensures that IT services support business and clinical units in achievement of their goals. I’ve been involved in implementation of large-scale EMR solutions, as well as department specific and niche systems. I have also built IT operational practices, and security and compliance solutions for optimal performance and stakeholder and customer satisfaction. My strengths include … ► Ensuring that organizations have the right "talent, tools and training.” I am a diligent leader who builds strong, productive, and empowered teams. ►Analyzing complex technology problems, identifying core needs and determining IT solutions that are the best fit for the organization. ► Understanding the challenges stakeholders face trying to meet business and clinical initiatives while struggling to embrace technology. I serve as the bridge between stakeholders and technology vendors to translate business needs into functionality. The most rewarding part of my work is that I get to help others be successful through the use of technology. I have always viewed information technology as a tool—a means to an end—and the real brilliance is in providing information to those clinical and business savvy leaders and end users who can then use it to make good decisions for their patients and for the organization.
