digital maturity models

Raed Alhamze, IT executive director of Saudi Arabia's Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, relays how the hospital system achieved HIMSS digital maturity in multiple categories: EMRAM, EHR, analytics, infrastructure and outpatient EMRs.

The system's scale has never stopped digital maturity, according to CIO Arvind Sivaramakrishnan. The goal of achieving triple Stage 6 HIMSS Digital Maturity Model validations pulled its teams together.

Dr. Afzal Chaudhry, director of digital and CMIO at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundations Trust in the UK, says the workforce is embracing technology to improve patient outcomes in areas such as barcode medicine and sepsis.
