Main Line Health Named a 2025 CIO 100 Award Winner
Main Line Health has been named as a 2025 CIO 100 Award Winner by Foundry’s CIO. For almost 30 years, the CIO 100 Awards have recognized innovative organizations that exemplify the highest level of strategic and operational excellence in IT.
Main Line Health was selected for the award based on its technological approach to downtime resilience. The System is in the development and pilot phase of providing a cellular-based clean network that leverages computers air gapped from the network, so that during a catastrophic network outage, colleagues and medical staff members can still access Epic, care for patients and run claims for those encounters.
A side benefit of that technology is its use during natural disasters, overflow or new locations without an established network.
"Being recognized as a 2025 CIO 100 Award Winner is a testament to Main Line Health’s commitment to innovation and resilience in healthcare technology," said Luke Olenoski, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Main Line Health. "Our approach to downtime resilience focuses on our ability to continue with patient care in the face of technology outages."
“The CIO 100 Awards recognize IT leaders who drive innovation, transformation, and business success through technology. With an exceptionally high caliber of submissions each year, winning a CIO100 Award is a true honor, highlighting the bold vision, strategic excellence, and groundbreaking impact of the most influential CIOs shaping the future of digital enterprise,” stated Elizabeth Cutler, Content Director, CIO 100 Symposium & Awards.
A highlight of the event each year is when a new CIO class is inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame. These executives have advanced the field through their work, their community involvement, and their focus on mentoring the next generation of IT leaders. I am honored to celebrate these accomplishments and showcase what IT innovation and exceptional leadership look like.”
Leaders from the winning companies will be recognized at the CIO 100 Symposium & Awards.
