Running IT the bayou way
Award-winning
Louisiana hospital
swamped with talent
BY JOHN ANDREWS, Contributing Writer
THIBODAUX, LA As attendees of the 2013
HIMSS Annual Conference & Exhibition
descend upon New Orleans, March 3-7,
there will be many temptations available to
lure them away from the show the clubs
of Bourbon Street, the shops of the French
Quarter, the rich cofee and beignets of Caf
Du Monde and the street performers around
Jackson Square. Its a place where tourists like
to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy the
care-free carnival atmosphere around the city.
Yet among the locals there is a gritty work
ethic, as demonstrated by the IT staff at
Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, about 50
miles southwest of New Orleans. Led by CIO Ber-
nie Clement, the IT department recently received
recognition from Healthcare IT News as one of the
top hospital IT departments in the nation.
The department is comprised of members
of various ages and backgrounds, which
makes for a cohesive chemistry, Clement said.
We have a great mix on our team from
very young to not-so-young and from very clini-
cal to very technical, he said. We have been
so fortunate to have clinical leaders on our team
