New KLAS report: "Application Hosting: Offloading Risk and Cost?"

New KLAS report: "Application Hosting: Offloading Risk and Cost?"

Report highlights:

* When it comes to application hosting, healthcare providers are finding greater success and satisfaction working with software vendors but are able to host a wider selection of applications by partnering with services firms.

* Ninety percent or more of respondents using Cerner, McKesson and Siemens hosting services would recommend their vendor to other providers, while fewer than half of ACS and Velocity respondents would do the same.

* Clinical information system customers are not necessarily happier with a hosted solution, despite being relieved of the work associated with product upgrades and hardware maintenance. In fact, only Cerner clients felt increased satisfaction with the software itself once it was hosted, while the majority of CIS clients were less satisfied.
