Stoltenberg Consulting Launches Annual HIT Industry Outlook Survey at HIMSS

PITTSBURGH, PA--(Marketwired - February 25, 2016) - Stoltenberg Consulting, Inc., a leading healthcare information technology consulting firm, today announced the start of its Fourth Annual Health IT Industry Outlook Survey, which it will conduct and center around the upcoming Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual conference at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, March 1-3.

"Stoltenberg's Health IT Industry Outlook Survey focuses on helping healthcare providers and health IT vendors identify industry trends and looming concerns to turn provider obstacles into actionable answers for better patient care quality and cost savings," said Stoltenberg CEO and Founder Sheri Stoltenberg.

Completed by project managers, CIOs, IT directors and consultants, last year's survey revealed that most (51 percent) showed confusion toward what and how much healthcare data to actually collect in data analytics initiatives. A majority (34 percent) also felt that the lack of buy-in across their healthcare organizations was the largest barrier to IT initiatives, including data analytics and achieving meaningful use. The full results from 2015 can be found here.

This year's survey presents six questions focusing on healthcare leaders' top initiatives and concerns for the remainder of 2016. By participating in the fourth annual survey, individuals can enter into a drawing for a $200 Amazon gift card. Survey responses will remain anonymous. For those unable to attend the HIMSS16 annual conference, participate and enter the raffle by completing the survey here.

Stoltenberg will also celebrate its 20 years as strategic health IT advisors at HIMSS16 through exhibition at booth #3621, social media channels with the campaign hashtag #20inHIT, and website and blog updates.
