Artificial intelligence (AI) and interoperability are among the most challenging technologies for implementation in 2019 for CIOs. CIOs rated AI and cyber security (94%), Internet of Things (IoT) (90%), and interoperability (82%) as the most problematic technologies to apply next year. In parallel, 24% of healthcare CIOs admit having a dearth of expertise the demand for new skills. The data was recently released by Black Book Market Research following a survey of 247 CIOs and 1,305 Non-IT C-Level and senior management leaders in the U.S.. 2019 looks to be a pivotal year in hospital IT with CIOs needing to scale up their digital operations in order to keep afoot with innovation and, therefore, relevant in a fast-moving world of healthcare tech. CIOs are on the road from digital experimentation to digital scaling, which is a major organisational challenge for traditional, functional hospital IT managers. The new job of the CIO is to build the required bench strength to scale healthcare’s myriad of digital businesses, said Black Book Market Research.
