The main roles of the CCIO include change management, ensuring clinical adoption and engagement in the use of technology, supporting clinical process redesign in a digital world, providing clinical focus to information communications technology (ICT) projects such that they meet the needs of the business, promoting ICT use to improve safety, quality, patient and family satisfaction, ensuring efficiency in delivery of care, integration with biomedical equipment and overall cost reduction, ensuring standardisation of clinical terminology, coding and compliance.[8]
