The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) recently released its 2016 Connected Health Survey, which forecasted a strong future for connectivity in the health-care environment.

Respondents also indicated that these technologies improved the hospital’s care capabilities and ability to communicate with patients.
