Hospital CEOs and Boards on IT

December 12, 2005

The Deloitte Hospital CEOs Survey has been released. There are some very interesting results from an IT perspective:

  • 5% of Boards of Directors believe IT is a concern (whereas 66% believe financial viability is a big concern)
  • 22% of CEOs believe additional IT infrastructure is the second greatest need in healthcare industry after coverage for the uninsured (63% believe that)
  • 27% of CEOs believe the Internet will have a big impact on medicine in the next 2 years.

The complete PowerPoint summary is available, too. A few telling slides are included below (click the images to see more legible versions):

    I’m downloading the slides — thank you! I’ve been talking to my administrator friends and many don’t yet realize the impact that HIT will have on hospitals. However, there are a few bright spots — ACHE has several IT related seminars/workshops at their Congress on Health Leadership, March 2006, and the topic has been appearing in Healthcare Executive (magazine). The tide may start to turn!
