THE MUSKINGUM DIFFERENCE:
Award-Winning Information Technology Leadership Edmund J. “Ed” Romito III ’11G, Chief Transformation Officer for Genesis HealthCare System and 2022 Graduate Commencement speaker, believes that Muskingum’s approach to information technology education provides the key to success in an ever-evolving field. “My role as Chief Transformation Officer is an extension of my work as Chief Information Officer for the prior 13 years. My MISST education provided me with the foundation for delivering innovative solutions. I constantly draw on the ‘whole brain thinking’ I learned at Muskingum to create strategies for meeting our IT mission of enabling safer, faster, and better healthcare. I also learned how to take technical and
abstract IT concepts and develop them into messages that help people understand the work we do and the value it brings to our organization and those we serve.” Ed has built and leads an award-winning information technology team. Their national honors include six years recognized as a “Most Wired Health System” by Digital Health, eight years listed in Computerworld’s “100 Best Places to Work in IT,” and twice named a “Top 10” IT Department by Healthcare IT News. Nine members of his team are Muskies who earned Master of Information Strategy, Systems, and Technology (MISST)degrees.
