What do hospitals have on their IT shopping lists?

51 CIOs and IT directors tell all in the 2005/2006 Report on Information Technology In Canadian Hospitals, our 4th annual survey of I.T. issues, spending plans and priorities in Canada’s hospital sector.

Canadian Healthcare Technology has completed an extensive survey of the IT installed base and acquisition plans of hospitals and health regions across the country. In-depth surveys of 51 CIOs and IT directors have allowed us to create an accurate picture of current capabilities and upcoming investments for 26 clinical applications and 15 types of infrastructure.

A comprehensive 76-page study, including analysis, charts and data is now available. View the report’s table of contents here.

With design and analysis by York University Business Professor Richard Irving, PhD, the survey provides aggregate data and trend interpretation on the installed IT base, investment plans and priorities.
