85% of Healthcare Executives Cite ACOs as Incentive for HIE

Eighty-five percent of healthcare executives assert their expedited health information exchange adoption is inspired by pressure to prepare for ACOs and changing reimbursement models, according to the "2012 Black Book State of the Enterprise HIE Industry" report.

Black Book Ranking, a market research polling company, published the report. To retrieve data, Black Book polls 300,000 healthcare executives annually in over 30 product and service categories.

Additional key findings from the report include:

• Twenty-eight percent of respondents are cautiously increasing HIE spending before the end of 2012, but eight of ten providers expect organizational HIE budgets to significantly increase by 2014.
• Eighty-three percent of hospitals and 17 percent of all providers either already have or plan to participate in an HIE solution.
• Ninety-five percent of all providers expect to be included in at least one HIE interface by July 2013.
• Ninety-eight percent of providers with HIE strategies in place will focus entirely on community or regional exchanges for the near future, rather than national health record exchange initiatives.
• Ninety-two percent of CIOs expect interoperability will be a top focus area for their organization in 2013 to 2014.
