A hospital is also most likely to face a financial life event that may require them to rethink an investment in their various healthcare IT (HIT) infrastructures. Expected or unexpected, HIT such life events can include:

  • Hospital leadership and/or ownership changes
  • Significant reductions in resources or staff turnover
  • Natural disasters or security breaches
