NAHIT Survey Report: Health Care IT spending and Economic Realities

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP SERIES December 2008 - Health Care IT Spending and Economic Realities: A survey of hospital and health system chief financial officers, vice presidents of finance and chief information officers.

 
“While this recession is clearly impacting IT expenditures, it is encouraging to see that there is not major slashing of IT budgets; that IT projects are being generally preserved, albeit with some slowing of pace and schedules,” says Richard Correll, president and chief executive of CHIME. “The continued support for IT investments is a clear vote of confidence and recognition of its strategic importance by senior health care leadership.”
