About the Person
Donna Staton came on board as Chief Information Officer of Fauquier Health System, an 86-bed acute care community hospital, when JCAHO introduced the new medication reconciliation standard of January 2006. Staton, who had never worked in a hospital setting before, brought a fresh pair of eyes and an innovative approach to a problem that had eluded many other long-time CIOs. It was the proving ground for Staton. Her novel approach, coupled with keen analytic skills led her to partner with a vendor in pursuit of a new IT product for medication reconciliation. Staton came from a software development background. She previously worked as Program Manager at IMC from 1995 – 2005. Donna is the recipient of HCI Innovator Award in Healthcare Informatics in 2008. She earned her BS and MS degree in Information Technology from the University of Virginia.
