The healthcare provider industry has seen of a lot of challenges lately, from the perspective of falling productivity, lower profits and the growing need for convergence with the payer model. It has become a no-brainer for healthcare provider firms, especially large hospital systems, to adopt analytics, EHR, and digitization to enable all or most of their strategic initiatives.
With healthcare provider companies increasingly maturing in their adoption of the outsourced delivery, there is an uptick in demand for research and market intelligence on demand and supply trends in outsourcing. The need is more pronounced for the value-chain-specific IT Outsourcing (ITO) services, where business challenges at functional levels are driving greater adoption.

In this annual report, we analyze current trends and the future outlook for large, multi-year ITO relationships for the healthcare provider market. The report also provides specific insights into the need for value-chain-driven IT adoption.
