STATE UNIVERSITY NY DOWNSTATE MEDICAL CENTER
The State University of New York Health Science Center , better known to locals as SUNY Downstate Medical Center , has consistently made its mark as one of the nation ’ s leading urban medical Centers . “ We are geographically located in an urban area and provide healthcare for an underserved community ,” explains Dr . Dilip Nath , Assistant Vice President and Deputy Chief Information Officer .
“ We are the only academic medical Center in Brooklyn . We provide education , research , and healing . We care about local people and we also offer students a world-class education in healthcare , nursing , and other medical related fields of study . Additionally , we offer leading research facilities and we house the first State BioTech incubator .
“ Now the question is , how do we transform this and provide high-quality care that our community deserves ?” he asks . “ How do we maximise every dollar to provide excellent healthcare , training , and research ?”
Healthcare for a digital age Nath ’ s answer is simple . SUNY Downstate Medical Center is leveraging technology to automate , modernise , and transform its healthcare services . In doing so , the institution is the driving force for efficiency , business agility , and providing topclass healthcare to Brooklyn ’ s 2.6mn residents .
As an alumnus of the State University of New York himself , Nath ’ s devotion to the Institution is unquestionable .
The first of his family to relocate from Bangladesh to the United States , Nath has risen through the ranks from Director of IT , to Associate CIO , followed by Interim CIO , and finally to his current role today as AVP and Deputy CIO .
