The ultimate objective of healthcare IT is to contribute to business. This might appear strange but the primary
objective of medicine is to heal ailments or prevent it from taking place again. The moment the service starts to
improve in these two areas, the public needs to become self-sufficient and have lesser service requirements.
Today healthcare IT generally equips hospitals, doctors and even other service providers to offer better care. It
further ensures that the errors and re-admissions are minimizes which otherwise resulted in pointless expenses
and made patients less healthy. In the year 2012 the healthcare software solution sector recorded about $1.2
billion through venture funding. Whilst a huge section of the deals were in the health data management, major
investments seems to have been done in forms that concentrated on consumers such as telehealth, mobile health,
personal health and many more.
However, the first half of 2013 also has witnessed significant investment in healthcare IT. The phenomena that
triggered this were the government change that encouraged the adoption of health IT by approving the Recovery
Act in 2009. Back in 2011, the Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs had made it possible for the
hospitals and doctors to accrue incentives and appropriately use the certified electronic health records.

and other programs, have introduced healthcare software services with their experience in cloud and SaaS
solutions. From the security needs to execution and maintenance, it helps them to set up interoperability software
