Healthcare providers and IT departments, under pressure to contain costs and cut budgets, are being asked to do more with less. He presents key findings from a healthcare provider survey regarding ASPs.

This represents opportunities for Web sub-portals, IT outsourcing and professional services firms, Web hosting companies, and Application service providers(ASPs).
