measure relative, incremental value

significant
increase in inpatient revenue
-- There is a direct relationship between IT adoption and improved
performance on AHRQ's patient safety indicators
-- Hospitals can learn from banking and other industries about investing
in
IT to achieve a competitive advantage (Note: earlier adoption of ATMs
in
the banking industry was associated with increased market share and
income)

contribute to positive operations
