Healthcare providers are transforming to keep pace with significant changes – new ideas, new models, and new efficiencies needed. Streamlining and centralizing IT infrastructure management is a critical step. Many are transitioning to an IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS) model, creating systems to leverage existing IT investments and rapidly roll out new solutions throughout their organization and to newly consolidated groups. This report summarizes a survey of CHIME members, examining health IT priorities and the transition to ITaaS.
Health IT executives say their top three goals are to:

Today, 18% of provider report they are currently affiliated with an accountable care organization; 37% anticipate being affiliated with an accountable care organization in the next 3 years
Most (59%) believe their leadership sees IT as an opportunity vs. a cost[BN2]
With good reason - health IT execs estimate that 13% or $390B[BN3]of healthcare costs can be saved with improved integration between clinical and administrative systems and data analytics.

What [BN7]advice would you offer to other organizations currently researching, considering, or implementing ITaaS?
“Proceed with caution. There are tremendous benefits, but the true success is in the detailed planning.”
“Good fences make good neighbors and strong SLA's make good partners.”
“Do your homework, go in with your eyes wide open, concentrate on good contracts.”
“Start with one aspect and do it well, then layer on other items that are both IS and end user time saving or improve the up time of the IS infrastructure.”
“Make sure physician leaders are involved.”
