Women in senior IT roles earn more than men and 10 other key trends from the CHIME salary survey

Contrary to trends in other sectors, women in healthcare IT executive positions earned about $30,000 more than their male counterparts in 2018, according to a survey of members from the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).

On average, women in healthcare chief information officer positions and other senior IT positions made $257,340 while men averaged $228,217, according to CHIME. Women represented about 27% survey respondents, which is relatively comparable to the gender breakdown of CHIME’s domestic membership, the organization said.

A HIMSS Compensation Survey released in March 2018 found that women and minorities working in health IT make 28% less than their white male colleagues.
