Healthcare CIO (Healthcare Chief Information Officer)
TechTarget, Wednesday, July 17th, 2024
A healthcare CIO (healthcare chief information officer) is an executive at a healthcare organization that oversees the operation of the information technology department and consults with other C-level personnel on technology-related needs and purchasing decisions.
Healthcare chief information officers are the professionals within a healthcare system who often lead the internal IT department in conversation and planning about how to handle the growing amount of digital data at the disposal of physicians and other employees.
For example, healthcare CIOs might need to help select which data collected by a patient's mobile health (mHealth) device can be used during care or treatment.
