I?m interested to understand how hospitals (large and mid size
delivery systems) buy information on emerging health technology issues
(new medical devices, IT, and other technologies).  How big is this
market for this information?  Who supplies hospitals this information?
 I know one supplier is the Advisory Board (ABCO is their ticker); I
assume other providers of information are Forrester, Frost & Sullivan
and others but I don?t know.  I?d like to understand the total size of
this information market including how much hospitals spend on this
type of information.  Finally I?m interested to understand if they buy
reports, or go to meetings, or how they get the information.  thank
you.
