Part of the book series: Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies ((SIST,volume 45))

Abstract

This paper introduces the concepts related with maturity models and analyses the evolution of maturity models for Information Systems Management and mainly the evolution of maturity models focused on the management of Hospital Information Systems. We concluded that current maturity models in the field of Hospital Information Systems management are still in an early development stage, and especially because they are poorly detailed, do not provide tools to determine the maturity stage nor structure the characteristics of maturity stages according to different influencing factors. Consequently, we consider opportune the development of a comprehensive maturity model to improve the Hospital Information Systems management.
