2009 National Survey on the Impact of Technology in Healthcare Reform

StatCom's independent, nationwide study is based on responses from 440 U.S. healthcare executives. The 2009 National Survey on the Impact of Technology in Healthcare Reform was designed to determine how current economic conditions and the healthcare reform discussion are impacting hospitals' operations, especially pertaining to patient flow processes and the use of technology.

Seventy-four percent of U.S. healthcare executives polled believe the U.S. healthcare system is in crisis and they are concerned healthcare reform legislation may negatively impact the quality of care and hospitals' profit margins, according to the findings of the 2009 National Survey on the Impact of Hospital Technology in Healthcare Reform.

Eighty-six percent of healthcare executives say improving productivity and efficiency was their primary strategy to accommodate future patient demand on the healthcare system. The survey also showed that 69 percent of executives plan to invest in improving their hospital technology during 2010.

"It is good news that, even in the midst of a challenging economic environment, most hospitals plan to increase IT budgets in 2010," said Karl Straub, president of StatCom. "In an era where healthcare facilities are closely monitoring their expenditures, an increase in IT budgets, if focused on solutions that can deliver improved patient throughput and productivity will have a positive impact on the healthcare industry."
