Playing Health Care? Try Info Tech

Todd Weller of Stifel Nicolaus says there's a big opportunity for investors in companies that provide information technology to giant health-care firms.

"Health care is one of the biggest industries that has yet to fully implement technology," Weller told CNBC.  "They've underinvested, and certainly, it's a big industry, immensely inefficient; there's a tremendous amount of pressures on the sector that are only going to persist."

So where should a wise investor look?

Recommendations:

"Our best trade now is Eclipsys [ECLP  Loading...      ()   ]," he said.  "They are a provider of hospital-focused solutions, and we think that this is one of the best fundamental stories if you look at the group over the last 12 months."

He also likes Allscripts [MDRX  Loading...      ()   ].

"Great play on physician electronic medical record adoption," he said.  "Stock way oversold, too negative, I think Allscripts has meaningful upside."

Also on his list are Quality Systems [QSII  Loading...      ()   ] and Cerner [CERN  Loading...      ()   ].

Disclosures:

Weller's firm makes a market in shares of Eclipsys, Allscripts, Quality Systems, and Cerner.
