Welcome to the new CDO Hub. The Hub is a result of the CDO Advisory Committee’s commitment to improve communication with hospital leadership, as stated in the committee Charter established May 3, 2016.  Following your feedback from the past two CDO Summits and the two week Hub test period in April, the committee is pleased to reveal this new communication tool.  Here are a few key reasons behind the format change:

1. Timelier communication. With the new CDO Hub, information can and will be updated at any time – allowing us to share up-to-the-minute news with you.
2. Streamlined content. The CDO Hub will contain all the information you, a CDO or leader, may need in one place. Until now, your information has been scattered and segmented. It’s our goal for the CDO Hub to fix that.
3. It’s in response to your feedback. You have asked for fewer emails and more streamlined communication, and the CDO Hub is the response to this request.
