In 2008, TCS, CMSA and ABQAURP coordinated the first in-depth survey to examine HIT trends in the field of care management. The organizations reunited to conduct the 2010 survey, allowing a longitudinal comparison of survey data. A core objective of the HIT survey is to assess the general trends related to HIT systems, especially the trends for care management software applications, and specific HIT system functionality within those applications. In addition, the research examines additional applications used by providers, payors, care managers, and others to support care management interventions and patient care. Although the practice of nursing and medicine has been transformed with the advent and adoption of HIT systems as a tool to support care management, these applications are still evolving.
