NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The healthcare industry is undergoing a major transformation due to the challenge of providing more cost-effective personalized care. The push towards predictable outcomes and higher quality of care is leading to convergence of information technologies.

The North American Healthcare IT market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% during the forecast period (2015 to 2020). Majority of the demand for healthcare IT solutions is driven by the growing need to reduce healthcare costs while adhering to the regulatory requirements set by government organizations for ensuring safety, security, and confidentiality of patient information.
