Notable News in Healthcare Provider IT

This Health Industry Insights Perspective provides a chronological list and assessment of important news and events reported in January through March 2009. Please note that progress attained and subsequent news reported after the initial announcement, or following the third week of the last month of the quarter, may not be included in this update.

In our role as healthcare provider IT industry analysts, Health Industry Insights analysts routinely monitor progress and news from across the healthcare IT (HIT) industry. This news is covered in our ongoing Newsletter, as well as in Perspectives, NewsFlashes, and other publications on a regular basis. Building on this coverage, we believe that this update will provide a summary of the period under analysis, both those events covered elsewhere in our research and those events for which no other Health Industry Insights coverage is available. This is one report in a series of quarterly updates that will be published into the Healthcare Provider IT Strategies service.
