U.S. Health Care Cloud Provider Releases Exclusive Health Care IT Study
IT Infrastructure company Peak 10 shares results of its 2nd National IT Trends in Health care study on the topics of compliance, IT outsourcing and cloud security.
Peak 10 has released its 2nd National IT Trends in Health Care study that revealed health care CIOs are under pressure to keep up with rapid advancements in interoperability, big data, and security challenges. Peak 10, which published its inaugural National IT Trends in Health care study last year, surveyed another 157 C-level executives and information technology professionals across the U.S. again this year. The study delivers unique insights based on data that illustrate industry challenges and provides a window into the future of the health care industry. Among these, the study shows that hospital groups are moving to outsource IT functions; adopt SaaS and cloud-based solutions; implement telemedicine portals; and rely on analytics and big data to accommodate the rapidly growing analyst-based workforce.
“Technology is changing at a rapid rate and while it is making patient’s lives easier, it is also increasing the amount of information that is at risk of falling into the wrong hands,” says David Kidd, VP of governance, risk and compliance at Peak 10. “Although health care organizations have been cautious about moving to the cloud, they are now recognizing the benefits and security in the cloud. This allows for more time to be spent on patients and the organization’s core mission.”
