Summary

This Health Industry Insights Perspective discusses healthcare IT solutions and the rationale behind the need for continued investment by providers. Historically, U.S. healthcare spending has weathered economic downturns well. Despite the current economic climate, it makes sense for office-based physicians to continue to invest in healthcare IT solutions that help them to lower operating costs and improve the quality of care, while enabling them to collect on Medicare incentives that result in increased revenue.
