Physician practices have gone through an unprecedented level of healthcare IT investment and implementation over the last 10 years with the help of government incentives and healthcare software vendors, bringing the outpatient arena to near universal adoption of practice management and electronic health record solutions. However, there are still challenges that physician practices face and there are still opportunities available to healthcare vendors across the outpatient market.

The study provides a view of the U.S. outpatient market and highlights the benefits and challenges organizations face today. Speakers Brendan FitzGerald, Director of Research, and Matt Schuchardt, Director of Market Intelligence Solutions, provide a high level review of trends in this topic area.
