These organizations view information technology as a critical contributor to their strategies and plans to integrate care, reduce costs and respond to a complex reimbursement environment. The development of thoughtful, focused and realistic IT strategies has become a primary management concern and focus. The aggregate capital projections for these systems often convey staggering numbers. The percentage of the organization's overall capital and operating budgets devoted to information systems appear to be increasing and is on its ways to being double current percentages. While organizational leadership understands that these numbers are becoming common, information systems and operating budget requests carry sticker shock and are often growing much faster than any other segment of the budget.
