"Healthcare has underinvested in IT during the last 20 years. This trend is expected to reverse as reduced costs are sought to manage down healthcare's double-digit inflation rate. The adoption of the electronic patient medical record provides the opportunity for numerous technologies to interface to this core data file."
- Cheryl Haze, Principal
