Taking advantage of evolving technologies helps companies maintain a competitive advantage. If you are not watching these developments, your business is missing out.For that reason, it is imperative that companies focus not just on the changes happening today but also on emerging technological trends that are shaping the future of organizations and industries. The more anticipatory a company can be with regard to technology, the more creatively it can use that knowledge and planning to gain competitive advantage.Faced with fundamental changes to the enterprise ecosystem, most successful CIOs of hospitals and senior IT leaders are rethinking on what IT means and how it can be applied to the needs and goals of the enterprise. CIO's have begun to leverage in healthcare sector new technologies and embrace the future by turning their attention to growth, cost reduction and competitive differentiation.The potential of technology is expanding. CIOs are working with greater agility to discover new ways to advance the business. They are always hunting for innovative solutions that address their pain points. Every other week, there will be some company launching an healthcare solution. While there is no dearth of solutions in the market, keeping track of all the available solutions is a humungous task and nearly impossible.We spoke to some of the successful CIOs from healthcare sector and other decision makers on buy-side of healthcare technology to share what they see as a big challenge in technology to meet healthcare needs in 2015, what solutions they will look forward to and their expectations from technology providers for the enterprise. This being a neutral platform, CIOs shared their true insights without any obligations to a particular vendor.
