Abstract

This IDC Survey presents key findings focused on provider investment plans for IT infrastructure modernization and security from the IDC’s 2022 U.S. Healthcare Provider Technology and Connected Health Survey.

Other topics covered in this survey, which will be covered in forthcoming research on connected health IT digital strategies, are wearables and remote health monitoring, virtual care, chatbots and digital assistants, consumer-facing mobile health applications, clinical mobility, and smartwatches.

"Ongoing industry disruption — labor shortages, supply chain issues, geopolitical and cybersecurity threats, and new business models — underscores that healthcare organizations must be nimble to remain competitive," states Lynne A. Dunbrack, group vice president, Public Sector. "IT needs to be agile, scalable, and reliable to support new business and reimbursement models and become more resilient. Unfortunately, most legacy infrastructure is too brittle and can't keep up with the pace of change in business, technology, and regulatory requirements."
