More than 60% of U.S. hospitals have made significant enough investments in information technology to begin seeing reductions in operating costs, according to a survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The report covers nearly 2000 U.S. hospitals. It was conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Prof. Lorin Hitt of the Wharton School of University of Pennsylvania. The researchers concluded that IT investment must reach a tipping point before cost-reducing performance improvements occur and that six in 10 hospitals are at or nearing that point.
