Organisations want to increase their IT investments to improve their patient satisfaction quotient and will thus pour their money into products that help them to achieve this goal.

These findings are evident in a recent survey conducted by IDC Health Insights -Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Healthcare IT Trends 2012 - 2013.

Healthcare executives see security as a key technology objective due to the increase in both clinical mobility and mobile health. Multiple points of data access have resulted in an increase of security breaches and thus health executives are paying more attention to security now.

"The smart healthcare organisation will leverage the mobile revolution running through the region and invest in both clinical mobility and mobile health for better clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction," said Sash Mukherjee, senior market analyst, IDC Health Insights Asia/Pacific.
