Porter Research has partnered with Billian's HealthDATA to offer "The Road Traveled: Providers' Perceptions of ARRA Legislation from Inception to Meaningful Use," a 10-page white paper that delves into the perceptions of providers over the last year since the introduction of the HITECH Act as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and the release of expanded "meaningful use" criteria.

The paper is the result of a two-phase study conducted in 2009-10, following the release of initial legislation and the ensuing release of expanded meaningful use requirements. One hundred fifty hospital C-suite executives were surveyed regarding their observations of the legislation as a whole, meaningful use requirements, the impact on their institutions, and the perceived impact of the legislation on healthcare technology vendors.

The study revealed, among other observations, that hospital executives have become more proactive in personally learning about the legislation, and are becoming increasingly anxious about their institutions' abilities to meet requirements and time lines. Less than 20 percent of these executives believe vendors will be able to keep up with the demand required by the legislation's time frames.

"They will become overextended," said one CIO. "They will be forced to hire new people without implementation skills. Vendors will not be able to keep pace without sacrificing quality."

Originally offered exclusively to registrants of a recent Porter Research/Billian's HealthDATA webinar of the same title, Porter Research now offers this timely piece of literature to the healthcare IT community at large as part of its white paper development services.
