Abstract
Summary The size and scope of this study for 1983 has been only briefly described by the few summary results that we have been able to put within this single article. Thousands of pages of data exist describing and detailing the complete statistical base of information that now exists on hospital data processing over the past 3 years. One need no longer guess or approximate what the industry is doing. Quantitative data are now available that we hope will lead to good decisions, good products, and good services. The 1982 and 1983 data base is now complete, along with the statistical analysis of information. The 1984 survey is now being distributed, and results should be complete in early 1985. For companies that are involved in this industry, the survey produces 11 volumes of information that are called Market Reports. For hospitals primarily concerned about the acquisition of equipment, there exist 8 volumes covering the major systems areas. For further information on these documents or any of the data elements contained within the survey, please address your questions to the Medical Systems Division at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.
