Abstract: The main aim of this research project was to investigate the role of CIOs in implementing IT governance in the health care sector. To achieve this, a systemic literature review was conducted with a general search of academic databases such as Emerald, Scopus and Google scholar search engine by using specific keywords. The inclusion criteria was that papers before 2005 were excluded, and that the research must be in English. CIOs are increasingly important in the healthcare sector as integrating technology becomes increasingly important, It became clear that CIOs are also a very important part of the delivery of quality care to patients (especially with regards to patient input regarding IT). CIOs have the necessary skills for IT hospital governance; they know what to adopt so as to improve efficiency and enhance control over medical and administrative processes. Additionally, the roles and tasks of CIOs keep on evolving as new technologies emerge. The roles and tasks of CIOs have been changing because they now play the role of integrator and not just coders or IT workers. They have become part of the management team in healthcare delivery. Finally, there is a need to clearly define the roles and tasks of CIOs for training and education purposes. DOI : https://doi.org/10.52783/pst.1745
