Abstract

Healthcare costs account for 14.4 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product (GNP). As cost containment measures have been implemented to address the high costs of health care, acute care facilities have required speedy revenue recovery mechanisms to survive.

The increased importance and cost of information resources management have spawned the growth of healthcare information systems (HCIS) consulting practices.
