The Federal Healthcare stimulus and new requirements for healthcare
organizations are creating a major impact on both the healthcare
industry as well as non-healthcare industries that are finding
themselves competing for IT, finance, and accounting professionals. The
demand for these skill sets is growing rapidly in the United States, and
while the nursing shortage is easing, the healthcare industry is
experiencing a record level demand for professionals and skilled workers.

This is true.

Hospitals are becoming high tech when it comes ot IT.
Friend of mine was hospitalized recently and when I visited her the
staff were carrying iPads, the nursing stations were running Windows
and the infrastructure was a combination of Windows, AIX, zOS and
some Linux.
On the front facing applications side it was all Windows or OSX
(iPads).

And yes I looked and I asked because I know some of the IT people in
that particular hospital.
