Introduction
Sponsored by Superior Consultant Company/ACS Healthcare Solutions, the 16th Annual HIMSS Leadership Survey reports the opinions of information technology (IT) executives from healthcare provider organizations across the U.S. regarding the use of IT in their organizations. The study was designed to collect information about IT priorities, technology adoption, application usage and other crucial factors in the use of IT to enhance healthcare.
Three other groups were also included in this study. Data collected from vendor chief executive officers (CEOs), provider CEOs and medical and nursing executives will be released in three separate reports in the spring of 2005.
