Crowe Horwath & Ponemon release HITECH study

November 21, 2009

I am delighted to share with you our recently completed benchmark study that focuses on healthcare organizations and their ability to comply with new regulations. Of 77 participating covered entities and business associates, 27% percent have not started or are barely aware of what they need to do, 32% are waiting for more details, 14% have a plan but are waiting for more details, and 21% are just starting to act. This data was collected from June through October 2009. If you are affected by the HITECH Act, this benchmark study may be helpful to you.
