One-on-One with Children's CIO Praveen Chopra

Praveen Chopra is vice president, chief supply officer and CIO at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, a three-hospital, 474-bed, non-for-profit organization that includes five immediate care centers and one primary care center. Since Chopra's arrival two and a half years ago, Children's has implemented several components of an EMR system and recently went live on CPOE. Chopra didn't let the fact that he was a first-time CIO stop him from heading up a major IT overhaul that replaced best-of-breed applications with an enterprise-wide system.
