About Keith Higgins

Visionary CIO with over 25 years of experience leading digital transformation across healthcare and financial services. As the Chief Information Officer of the Cayman Islands Health Services Authority (HSA), I’ve championed a technology-first approach to healthcare strategy—where innovation is the backbone of organizational success. My leadership philosophy centers on aligning enterprise technology with strategic pillars: improving access to care, enhancing patient and staff experiences, stabilizing the workforce, promoting population wellness, and driving financial sustainability. From EHR optimization and AI governance to ERP automation and HCM predictive staffing. I’ve led initiatives that deliver measurable outcomes—higher throughput, reduced burnout, improved continuity of care, and accelerated revenue cycles. I believe in building secure, interoperable platforms that empower clinicians, engage patients, and future-proof healthcare systems. My work has helped HSA achieve HIMSS Level 6 readiness, Joint Commission International Accreditation, and a clean audit opinion—hallmarks of operational excellence and digital maturity. Certified Healthcare CIO (CHCIO), MBA graduate, and lifelong learner with deep expertise in enterprise systems, software development, and healthcare informatics.
