Introduction

The 20th Annual HIMSS Leadership Survey reports the opinions of information technology (IT) professionals 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, business issues that impact IT adoption, security concerns, IT staffing & budgeting and other crucial factors in the use of IT to enhance healthcare.

Data collected from other senior level executives at provider organizations will be released in the summer of 2009.
