Approximately 75 percent of the 298 hospital and health system senior-level IT executives surveyed for the 2014 HIMSS Leadership Survey expect their organization will attest to meaningful use stage 2.
Many of these hospitals expect attestation to pay off financially. The survey found anticipated returns on investments for reaching meaningful use stage 2 to be somewhat modest but definite:
- 1 percent of respondents anticipate no return
- 37 percent expect a return of less than $2 million
- 13 percent expect a return of $2 to $3 million
- 3 percent expect a return of $4 to $5 million
- 3 percent expect a return of $6 to $7 million
- 3 percent expect a return of $8 to $9 million
- 3 percent expect a return of $10 million or more
- 9 percent are unsure of expected return
