Market Overview
Patient Safety Regulations Boost the Demand for High Acuity Care Information Systems
In recent years, the Department of Health and Human Services and other medical standard institutions have been increasingly scrutinizing high acuity care departments in hospitals for patient care and safety breaches. Under constant pressure to improve patient care and safety, high acuity care departments are turning to information technology (IT) applications. Several bills currently under discussion in the U.S. Congress can have a direct and positive impact on healthcare IT.
The Wired for Healthcare Quality Act promotes the adoption of a nationwide interoperable health information technology system and seeks to improve the quality and reduce the costs of healthcare in the United States. The Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) is moving toward a pay-for-performance model, urging hospitals to collect data to prove certain levels of care delivered and to submit for reimbursements electronically. These regulations can essentially drive the demand for high acuity care information systems.
Operational Efficiency and Medication Management Impel High Acuity Care Information Systems Markets Revenues
High acuity care information systems are emerging as key solutions to help emergency departments, intensive care units (ICUs), and perioperative and anesthesia services. These systems are vital in improving workflows to achieve operational efficiencies that in turn enhance patient care and safety to satisfy and retain patients, notes the analyst of this research service. High acuity care customers are implementing computer physician order entry (CPOE) and deploying medication management and verification modules to ensure proper dosages and avoid allergic reactions and harmful drug interactions. This can contribute substantial revenues to the high acuity care software solutions market.
Niche vendors with rich features and functionalities in one department can expand sales with existing customers through the creation of robust information system (IS) solutions for other high acuity care departments, particularly systems that can be provided on a single clinical platform, suggests the analyst. They must proactively incorporate converging healthcare IT standards, create flawless inter-operability, and meet emerging government regulations.
