"Healthcare IT spend continues to grow rapidly. With drivers such as increased
government-sponsored health IT initiatives and payer- and employer-sponsored
initiatives that encourage health IT investment, this growth will continue to
be strong. However, issues around interoperability, privacy, and security
remain. While growth will continue to be strong, expect challenges in
addressing these issues." - Rachele Manning, senior research analyst, Health
