The report explained that that the federal economic stimulus package spurred many smaller hospitals to consider purchasing health IT systems, particularly those that facilitate physician adoption. In addition, it was mentioned in the report that about half of the respondents said they plan to make a health IT purchasing decision within the next year and about 34% said they would make a decision within two years. The researchers note that smaller hospitals currently comprise a large share of health IT purchasers because most of the larger hospitals already have purchased clinical information systems.
