Abstract：Objective It aims to systematically review the concept of hospital digital maturity and its application in the digital transformation of hospitals,analyzes existing digital maturity assessment models internationally,and examine relevant research progress to provide reference and support for the digital transformation of Chinese hospitals.Methods By using the systematic review method,a systematic review was conducted by searching rele-vant literature in both Chinese and English databases,including CNKI,Wanfang Database,PubMed,Medline,and Web of Science.Keywords used for the search included digital maturity,digital capability,health,and hospital.Results Widely used international digital maturity assessment models encompass various dimensions,such as organizational management,digital technology capabilities,healthcare professional digital capabilities,data analytics,and interoperability.Some countries have applied these models in the digital transformation practices of hospitals,while attention to this field remains relatively limited in China.Conclusion Digital maturity assessment is a crucial tool for promoting the digital transformation of hospitals;however,existing evaluation frameworks are not directly appli-cable to China's public hospital system.Future research should focus on developing quantifiable assessment tools tai-lored to the characteristics of Chinese public hospitals,thereby promoting hospital digital transformation and high-quality development.
