The overall research objective is to measure the current use and future decision making behavior toward information technology (IT) in the healthcare industry in North America, Latin America, and Europe. The Affordable Care Act, along with the pressure to reduce costs, is forcing vast changes in the healthcare system that will benefit the IT industry. Accountable care organizations (ACO) are investing in products and technologies to address the needs of the healthcare market through various kinds of partnerships. Opportunities exist in solutions such as mHealth as patients use mobile apps to access and provide their health information, make appointments and communicate with their healthcare provider, and track their wellness and fitness.
