Impact of the Current Economy on Healthcare
A new Administration has created a heightened expectation that universal healthcare may be closer than ever to becoming a reality in the US. The government’s reform strategy has been built on reducing skyrocketing costs, enhanced IT and records management, improved practitioner collaboration, and increased access to preventative healthcare. Therefore, although we face serious challenges, significant revenue opportunities exist with funding starting in 2010 for those reseller partners who understand the trends in the healthcare market and who can work with their customers to design and implement solutions to capitalize on these changes.
