Who is responsible for the technological research and development as part of a healthcare organization's products and services?

  1. Chief financial officer (CFO)

  2. Chief information officer (CIO)

  3. Chief operations officer (COO)

  4. Chief technology officer (CTO)

The correct answer is: Chief technology officer (CTO)

A CFO primarily deals with financial matters and managing the organization's financial resources, not research and development of products and services. A COO is responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations and ensuring efficiency within the organization, but not specifically focused on technological research and development. A CIO may oversee technological systems and infrastructure, but is not solely responsible for research and development of products and services. A CTO is specifically responsible for overseeing all technological aspects of an organization, including research and development of products and services. Therefore, the CTO is the best fit for this role.
