Abstract

The information systems and technologies (IST) in healthcare have evolved gradually, and theories about adoption and maturity of IST are sufficiently established in the literature of organisational management. In this paper we make an approach to the evolution of IST in healthcare, introducing the concepts associated with maturity models, addressing the generic maturity model for IST management and presenting the main maturity models specifically focusing on the management of IST in healthcare. Relatively to the last ones, we conclude that there is still a way to go for having available widespread and detailed maturity models. This finding marks the opportunity to develop new maturity models focusing on the IST management in healthcare.
