Developing Core Competencies and Measures of Effectiveness for a Navy Medical Chief Information Officer

Abstract

While not all organizations benefit from the establishment of a Chief Information Officer (CIO), organizations that rely on information resources to accomplish their mission will gain a definite strategic advantage from developing an executive level position that can deal strategically with information technology and information resources. The Department Of the Navy (DON) medical department has established the position of CIO in a number of locations throughout the world. The purpose of this thesis is to use critical success factors to identify core competencies and skills essential for civilian medical CIOs and the core competencies and skills identified as essential for Department of Defense CIOs. By combining these two groups of core competencies and skills, this thesis develops a set of core competencies and skills necessary for a DON medical department CIO. Additionally this thesis develops measures of effectiveness for the medical CIO in a DON environment to gauge his effectiveness in contributing to the executive management of the organization.
