Just over half of healthcare executives plan to invest in IT during the next 12 months, according to a survey from investment bank and financial services firm JP Morgan.
JP Morgan polled healthcare executives from Oct. 16, 2018, to Nov. 2, 2018, to assess their attitudes toward the financial outlook of their own organizations, the healthcare industry as a whole and the national economy.
Fifty-one percent of respondents said they planned to invest in IT during the next 12 months. Many of these investments will focus on data security and EMR implementations, according to the survey.
Other common areas of investment were physician recruitment (44 percent) and facilities (36 percent).
