The Annual HIMSS Leadership Survey has a strong tradition of reporting on the opinions of information technology (IT) executives from healthcare provider organisations across the U.S. regarding the use of IT in their organisations. For the first time, HIMSS EMEA is turning this same focus across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, reporting on the information communications and technology (ICT) issues that are relevant to senior healthcare management in this region. The study was designed to collect information about IT priorities, technology adoption, application usage and other crucial factors in the use of IT to enhance healthcare.
This report was sponsored by Cisco. Support for this research also came from: C2C, European Health Telematics Association (EHTEL), European Federation of Medical Informatics (EFMI), Tekes - the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation, SITRA (the Finnish Innovation Fund) and the Swiss Society for Medical Informatics (SSMI).
