To complete this assignment, read the "Mini-Case: Predicting Future HMIS Trends by Chief Information Officers," found at the end of chapter 2 in the textbook. Please also review the optional topic readings for additional context. Compose a 1,000-1,250 word paper that integrates and answers the following components:
1. Why do you think a CIO survey is important for the HMIS industry?
2. Compose a prediction of what type of hardware investments would be considered key to HMIS future. Where did you find similarities? Where did you find variances?
3. Why do you think the results showed in "CIO Survey 2016" investment in an electronic health record (EHR) program to be a top priority for CIOs in the coming year?
4. Why do you think those who work in a clinic or in a group practice may be less concerned about backup/disaster recovery than those who work in a hospital or other large integrated health care delivery system?
Do you think this is prudent? Why or why not? You are required to use two qualified references in addition to your textbook for this paper.
