Industry Value?: IT Trends & Expenditures in the U.S. Healthcare Industry
In-Stat/MDR, May 2005, Pages: 36
Gain insight into the latest IT trends, spending priorities, investment areas, and sales channels in the healthcare industry. This report takes a drill-down view of the healthcare IT industry by size of healthcare firm and across various IT segments. IT segments include applications, personnel, telecom, computer hardware, network
hardware, and hosting/outsourcing. Detailed feedback from decision-makers in this vertical include perceptions on the economy and own organization, factors affecting IT spending, and purchasing channels for each category of spending.
With the outlook for the economy and their individual institutions looking bright, healthcare information technology decision-makers are expected to increase IT investments over the next four years. However, the focus of these investments is expected to revolve around improving the patient experience, reducing medical errors, and protecting patient security. In the long-term, automation of the healthcare practice will continue to be an ongoing focus in this vertical. This suggests that the vendors targeting these customers will need to focus on processes, applications, and operations.
