Editorial Note Women Revolutionizing Patient Care T he healthcare industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation, driven by a new wave of leadership. At the forefront of this change are women leaders, approaching healthcare challenges with not only exceptional expertise but also a deep well of empathy and a commitment to human connection. Here, we explore the experiences that have shaped their journeys and the innovative ways they are revolutionizing patient care. From Frustration to Advocacy: Imagine a young doctor witnessing firsthand the struggles of patients navigating a complex healthcare system. Frustrated by the disconnect between cutting-edge technology and the human experience, she embarks on a mission to bridge the gap. Her solution? Streamlining patient access to information and fostering clear communication between patients and providers.
Today, she leads a team developing user-friendly healthcare apps that empower patients to become active participants in their own well-being. A Beacon of Hope in Underserved Communities: Another leader, a physician driven by a deep sense of social justice, witnessed the disparity in healthcare access faced by underserved communities. Instead of accepting the status quo, she chose to be a beacon of hope. She established mobile clinics, bringing vital medical services directly to those most in need. Her unwavering compassion and dedication to community outreach have inspired countless healthcare professionals to follow suit. Technology with a Human Touch: The rise of telemedicine has undoubtedly transformed healthcare delivery. One leader, an engineer with a keen understanding of the importance of human connection, recognized the potential for telemedicine to leave patients feeling isolated. She spearheaded the development of a telemedicine platform that prioritizes building rapport between patients and remote providers. Video consultations are designed to encourage in-depth conversations, ensuring patients feel heard and understood, even across a screen. From Researcher to Reformer: Scientific discovery is a cornerstone of progress in healthcare. Imagine a dedicated researcher who, upon witnessing the devastating effects of a chronic illness, shifted her focus from discovery to reform. Convinced that preventive measures were key, she embarked on a mission to educate the public about healthy living habits. Her tireless advocacy efforts and engaging educational resources have empowered individuals to take charge of their health and well-being. The Power of Collaboration: The complexities of modern healthcare demand a collaborative approach. One leader, a hospital administrator known for her collaborative spirit, recognized the siloed nature of healthcare departments could hinder patient care. She fostered a culture of teamwork, encouraging open communication and information sharing. Today, her hospital is a model of interdepartmental collaboration, leading to more efficient and patient-centered care. These are just a few examples of the remarkable women leaders redefining the future of healthcare. Their stories highlight the power of empathy, collaboration, and a commitment to human connection in revolutionizing patient care. This edition of CIO Business World celebrates not only their achievements but also the kindness and compassion through our upcoming edition, Most Iconic Women Leaders Revamping the Future Healthcare Industry, 2024 that fuel their dedication to a healthier future for all.

Finding Balance: How Female Healthcare Leaders Prioritize Self-Care While Driving Industry Innovation T women in healthcare leadership positions face a unique challenge: balancing the immense responsibility of driving innovation and patient care excellence with the critical need for self-care. he healthcare industry thrives on dedication. It demands long hours, unwavering compassion, and a deep well of resilience from its leaders. However, This allows them to recharge and return to their work feeling refreshed and energized. Building Supportive Networks: Women leaders are fostering a culture of collaboration and building strong support networks. This might involve mentoring programs, peer support groups, or simply creating safe spaces for open communication and vulnerability. Sharing the load and fostering a sense of community allows them to navigate challenges together. • The traditional image of a successful healthcare leader often leans towards the tireless, stoic figure, sacrificing personal well-being for the sake of the cause. Yet, a powerful shift is underway. Women leaders are redefining success, demonstrating that prioritizing self-care is not a weakness, but rather the foundation for sustained leadership and long- term impact. The Juggling Act: Balancing Demands on Time and Energy Women in healthcare leadership often juggle multiple demanding roles – managing teams, overseeing complex projects, advocating for policy changes, and still finding time for clinical practice or research. Family obligations and societal expectations can add another layer of complexity. This relentless pressure can lead to burnout, a state of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced effectiveness. Prioritizing Self-Care: A Catalyst for Innovation Women leaders are breaking the mold by prioritizing self- care, recognizing it as an essential investment in their leadership journey. Here's how: Championing Work-Life Balance: They are advocating for flexible work arrangements, promoting healthy boundaries between work and personal life, and leading by example in taking time for themselves. • 22
Embracing Mindfulness Practices: Many leaders are incorporating mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga into their routines. These practices can help them manage stress, improve focus, and enhance emotional intelligence, ultimately leading to better decision- making and leadership. Improved Decision-Making: Self-care reduces stress and improves cognitive function, leading to clearer and more effective decision-making. • • Stronger Teams & Culture: By prioritizing self-care and leading by example, women leaders create a ripple effect. This encourages team members to prioritize their own well-being, fostering a more positive and productive work environment. • Investing in Physical Well-being: Prioritizing healthy sleep, nutrition, and exercise is crucial for maintaining energy levels and overall well-being. By taking care of their physical health, women leaders are equipping themselves for the long haul. • Breaking the Stigma: Redefining Leadership Women leaders are challenging the traditional image of leadership by openly discussing the importance of self-care. This not only benefits their own well-being but also empowers other women to prioritize their health and well- being without fear of judgment. The Benefits of Self-Care: Innovation Through a Renewed Lens Prioritizing self-care isn't a luxury; it's a necessity for sustained leadership and driving innovation. Here's how it translates into positive change: The healthcare industry stands to benefit tremendously from a future where female leaders prioritize both excellence in patient care and their own well-being. By championing self- care, these leaders are paving the way for a more sustainable, innovative, and ultimately, more successful healthcare system for all. Enhanced Creativity: A well-rested and balanced mind is more likely to spark creative solutions and foster a culture of innovation within teams. • 23 www.ciobusinessworld.com
C a s s a n d r a R u e l a The Inspiring Leadership of Cassandra Ruela in the Health Sector W embarked on her journey with the same thought, making her way as an Executive Director of Paramount Wellness Retreat. Overcoming age-related challenges, Cassandra's leadership has been instrumental in establishing and growing this innovative substance abuse addiction treatment facility. Her vision extends beyond her current role, aspiring to contribute to the integration of medical and behavioral health in healthcare's next transformative phase. Cassandra's impactful leadership exemplifies the convergence of clinical expertise and executive acumen, shaping the future of wellness and recovery. In order to get more from her, we at CIO Business World interviewed her to know more about her life story. hatever you wish for emotionally, you have to give first, and only then you get. Cassandra Ruela, a trailblazer in the healthcare industry, is Director and finally, Assistant Director of Clinical Outpatient Services, prioritizing staff development, revenue growth, and service expansion. In May of 2023, my journey led me to become the Clinical Director of Paramount Wellness Retreat, where I successfully established a residential facility from scratch. Being a part of a start-up with such significance placed on client care was ideal. In July of 2023, I was promoted to the role of Executive Director of Paramount Wellness Retreat. My age has always been a challenge for me to overcome. I am 33 years old and an Executive Director in my field. I had to learn early in my career to ignore the people who would tell me that I'm too young and that I need to “wait my turn.” My turn is when I decide it is and believing in myself to do these things, no matter my age, is how I have become the person I am and the role model I want my kids to look up to. Tell us something more about Paramount Wellness Retreat. and its mission and vision. Below are the highlights of the interview: Brief our audience about your journey as a business leader until your current position at Paramount Wellness Retreat What challenges have you had to overcome to reach where you are today? Paramount Wellness Retreat is a 3.7 and 3.5 level of care for substance abuse addiction treatment. Our mission statement is “Care with Purpose.” With a low staff-to- patient ratio of 1.5:1, our clinicians and providers can offer an unmatched level of care and attention to every patient. Individualized treatment programs are developed for everyone and will incorporate a variety of industry-leading and alternative modalities. Our focus is on healing the whole person and not just alleviating the symptoms of the disorder. We pair evidence-based therapy with holistic programming, recovery coaching, and therapy dogs to allow guests to determine their own best path to recovery. Beginning as an unlicensed clinician in 2013, I worked within residential and outpatient programs while wanting to move forward in my career. In 2017, I took on the role of a leader at CT Renaissance's outpatient clinic, working to impart my priority of client care to my clinicians. From 2017 to 2021, I held the positions of Lead Clinician, Clinical Supervisor, Program Director, Dual Program 25 www.ciobusinessworld.com
The next change in healthcare is the imperative integration between medical and behavioral health. It is unacceptable that providers do not collaborate in the way that they should, and it needs to be rectified as immediately as possible. PWR guests have daily access to our Medical Director, PA, and/or APRN and our nursing staff is in unit 24/7. Additionally, PWR just partnered with Poplar Wellness and rolled out a wearable device for all detox clients to wear (a watch) 24/7. This feeds vital signs to our monitor in the nursing station and allows our team to monitor any changes in real-time. This type of integration is just the beginning, and I am dedicated to being a frontrunner in collaboration. How have you made an impact in the Healthcare industry? Any impact on any industry is a result of many small steps that someone has taken. In venturing into this role, I have made many small changes that I believe will help those who come after me. I hope that continuing to push into leadership in this realm will allow the next generation to continue to push no matter their gender or age. Currently, I am in a position where I lead a medical level of care and a clinical level of care in the same building. How do you build and manage a motivated and effective team? One of my significant supervisors said something to me once that I have never forgotten: “If you never make a mistake, it means you have never tried to make things better.” I believe that fostering a team that understands that perfection is not the goal is the key to allowing people the grace to be human. If my team feels that they can make mistakes without judgement, then my team will bring me new and innovative ideas to make things more efficient and effective. Will they all be killer ideas? No. But will my team be filled with independent thinkers? I really hope so. Being the Executive and Clinical Director of PWR, I work closely with our Medical Director, Director of Nursing, and our Chief Executive Officer. Allowing these roles to meet with my role as the catalyst inspires collaboration between realms of the Healthcare industry and demonstrates how much stronger the results can be. Where do you envision yourself to be in the long run, and what are your future goals for Paramount Wellness Retreat? What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs who aspire to venture into the health care sector? My advice is to not allow your education or other professionals to dictate what path you can take. I never pictured myself being a leader in an agency, corporation, or the field because it was always dictated to me that as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I could only be a therapist. If I had bought that information, I would never be in a position where I can be a therapist and an executive at the same time. Additionally, I would tell anyone that you can be a working woman who has it all. I have an incredibly rewarding job, a husband, three kids (3 and under!) and am working on a book. Find yourself a partner, a family, a team that can support your goals. I would tell them that they aren't wrong for wanting more, even if they already have the most. In the long run, I plan to remain Executive Director for Paramount Wellness Retreat and finish my book outlining my challenges I have faced with the glass ceiling (gender and age) and providing therapy in a non-confirmative way. Additionally, I plan to move toward an adjunct professor role when my children are old enough. If I had my way, Paramount would continue to expand until we couldn't do it anymore. Our philosophy and team should be accessible to all who struggle with addiction and want an innovative approach to their wellness! What, according to you, could be the next big change in the Healthcare? How is Paramount Wellness Retreat preparing to be a part of that change? 26

Optimizing AI for health Enquiry: The 5 Key Ingredients Human-AI collaboration can counteract bias. AI systems that combine human expertise with machine learning not only improve performance but help address algorithmic bias. Humans provide context and equity, while AI adds speed and scale. This balanced approach prevents marginalized groups from being overlooked. A rtificial intelligence (AI) holds tremendous potential to improve healthcare and public health outcomes. But if not developed thoughtfully with equity in mind, AI risks exacerbating disparities. Here are five things to know about ensuring AI promotes health equity: Diversity in data and teams enables equity. To develop equitable AI, diverse real-world data and perspectives are needed. Inclusive data collection and having representative teams involved in design, validation, and evaluation helps build sensitivity to different populations into systems. AI can reveal healthcare disparities. By analyzing large, diverse health datasets, AI systems can uncover differences in access, treatment, and outcomes across demographics that may otherwise go unnoticed. For example, an algorithm may find racial disparities in cardiac care by mining electronic health records. These insights allow targeting of solutions to disadvantaged groups. Post-deployment audits uphold fairness. Ongoing testing for discrimination and regular algorithmic impact assessments after implementation are key to ensuring AI fairness in practice. This allows prompt identification and correction of emergent biases as systems are used in changing real environments. AI models can perpetuate bias. Because AI learns from data, models trained on historically biased datasets may disproportionately misdiagnose, underserve, or negatively impact marginalized populations. Studies have found automated systems that exhibit gender and race bias. Ongoing bias monitoring and mitigation is crucial throughout development and use. The increasing use of AI in medicine holds vast potential to improve care, but thoughtfully embedding equity considerations through its development and application is crucial to truly benefitting all patients. This requires conscientious effort, but the rewards will be more informed, just, and compassionate healthcare for all. 28
