What is Maturity Level

Chapter 49
Handbook of Research on ICTs and Management Systems for Improving Efficiency in Healthcare and Social Care
A maturity level is a well-defined evolutionary plateau that establishes a level of capacity for improving workforce capability; each maturity level specifies certain characteristics for processes, with higher maturity levels having more advanced characteristics and is a step towards achieving a mature process, providing a set of goals which, when satisfied, places an organization at the next level of maturity. It also specifies the path that a process follows in moving from immature and ad hoc process to highly mature process.

Abstract
This chapter discusses the issues and choices that researchers and technicians should consider when adapting maturity models to healthcare organizations needs. It discusses the practical utilization of maturity models, including different maners of exploring a model’s usefulness. For a more complete understanding of maturity models and their applicability, the selection of criteria and processes of measurement, called metrics, is briefly reviewed in terms of indicators and daily procedures. Finally, some issues of management information systems security are briefly addressed, along with a note on measuring security assessment.
