However, there is variance on salary figures for CNIOs, which is still a relatively new hospital position, as government-owned health systems tend to pay less, according to the report.

Salaries also depended on the skills of a CNIO. Roughly 85 percent of survey respondents said a background in nursing informatics was pertinent, while only 20 percent said finance skills were necessary.
