Article Abstract:

Spending for information systems by health providers is expected to expand in 1998 in spite of the consolidation which continues in the health care industry. Strategic quality goals, competition, capitated fees, and managed care are some of the factors which are encouraging this. Although investors were not rewarded financially until late 1997, prospects for above-average industry returns for 1998 and through the years 2000-2002 are good.

Article Abstract:

Healthcare providers are consolidating and cutting costs to meet consumer resistance. There are increased expenditures for information technology by providers to remain competitive, with a probable 15% annual increase. During the next three to five years information technology firms are expected to grow 25% a year. These stocks are highly valued, and investors must assume risk and carefully select their commitments.
