How the CIO role is evolving

Eighty-seven percent of health system CIOs see themselves as strategy influencers, a Sept. 4 survey from healthcare data platform Arcadia found.

On behalf of Arcadia, the Harris Poll conducted a survey online from Jan. 11-25, gathering responses from 102 senior healthcare IT leaders and decision-makers across the U.S.

The results indicate that CIOs are becoming increasingly involved in shaping, refining and executing business strategy. However, only 13% of CIOs identified as purely strategy implementers.

Despite their growing strategic role, many CIOs report feeling constrained by daily operational demands. In fact, 58% of respondents said they primarily focus on tactical execution, prioritizing immediate tasks over long-term strategic planning.

To be most effective, respondents suggest that approximately 75% of their time should be dedicated to strategy development and execution.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
