TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Book™ today announced the launch of a new, redesigned version of its website, www.BlackBookMarketResearch.com.

Key features of the site include a cleaner and more attractive design, a more engaging user experience with enhanced search and navigation, and the capability to sell reports directly to health care technology and services research purchaser, many providers, hospitals, government agencies, payers, and pharma/biotech firms as well as provide gratis reports to survey participants.

Quarterly updates have been added for investors, banking analysts, fund managers, and venture capital needs.

The site's refreshed and simplified look, combined with enhanced content, improved search functionality, and optimization for mobile devices allows consumers to better interact with Black Book™ online.

Black Book Research's multi-layered health care information and services research, and vendor-agnostic, crowd-sourced survey techniques across all levels of the facilities. Only Black Book solicits software users all levels of the institution, expanding annually from relationships with professional organizations, medical associations, journal subscribers, membership groups, and event management among other methods to take our satisfaction polls.

The overwhelming industry disappointment from all the stakeholders Black Book heard from the health care IT industry between 2008 and 2013 was clearly from the user level and supervisory-of-user level staff. Where rarely more than 10.2% claimed they had any input into the selection of different vendors, and NEVER (0.4%) had any input or feedback in keeping the products not meeting user needs, or providing loyalty data back to surveyors or analysts.

In 2016, Black Book management made it a top priority to solicit, seek, invite and assist non-management staff into rating their clinical and medical systems, not only the Chief Information Officers and their direct clerical support to provide usable, vendor agnostic, unbiased feedback on HIT developers strengths and failings as these apply to their facilities.

"Black Book sought out eight years ago to identify and survey those IT services users in hospitals, managed care companies, physician offices, business centers, corporate offices, ancillaries, nursing, and operations management as an experiment to see how those satisfaction opinions differed from Chief Information Officers," said Brown. "Now we include these users in every comprehensive HIT, EHR, RCM and HIE product review."

Black Book has created refreshed mobile survey apps with over 240 surveys on going and 60 web-based surveys, which have collectively grown in participation by 1200% over the past two years and external validation process partners have placed the trust in the results enhanced by clinical and medical users, as evidenced by 93% of those non-CIO/non-IT Management staff surveyed in agreement.

"It only strengthens Black Book Research's goal to lead the transparency and thoroughness efforts in reporting health care information technology satisfaction and loyalty outcomes and a reasonable cost," added Brown.

Black Book Market Research invites visitors to explore its new website. The new website has been designed to offer the ultimate user-friendly experience with improved navigation and functionality while allowing customers to see the full product portfolio Black Book offers.

Created with the user experience in mind, the site includes many new features to help users to quickly and easily navigate the site and find the survey results they need. New features include:
