Three out of five healthcare IT professionals believe that government mandates are having a negative effect on their industry, according to study from Peak 10, a Charlotte, N.C.-based national IT infrastructure and cloud services provider.
The majority (94 percent) of respondents also noted that complying with regulations influences IT strategy and decision-making. With rare exception, respondents—C-level executives and information technology professionals at 149 U.S. healthcare organizations— claimed they lack the expertise necessary to navigate the maze of government regulations.
