The economic downturn has caused widespread re-evaluation of resources and the role of technology across the healthcare industry. Eighty-five percent of healthcare providers surveyed for Trends in Financial Strategies and Technologies report that their organizations have responded to the economic downturn with cost-cutting measures.

  • Clinical transformation
  • Quality Improvement programs
  • Health Information Exchanges
  • Interoperability and data sharing
  • Wireless networks
  • Data collection at the point of care
  • And more!

 

Written by the experts at Healthcare Informatics Research, Trends in Financial Strategies and Technologies analyzes data gathered from 675 members of the Healthcare Informatics Research Panel.
