Market Forecast 2002 Report: North America & European Picture Archiving and Communications System Market (PACS)
TekPlus Limited, Jan 2002, Pages: 109
Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) will become an important module in delivering improvements to patient healthcare and driving down costs, its relevance to hospitals will become more significant.
This report covers the North American and Western European market for PACS solutions. The market in North America is the best developed of the two, however many of the problems
holding back growth in Europe are also to be found here.
Lack of funding, determining and speeding up ROI, managing workflow and security are important issues that require tackling and resolving. There are many ancillary benefits to deploying PACS systems and vendors need to highlight these to hospitals and ensure that they form part of the decision process in deploying PACS. These include improvements in staff moral, increased time spent with patients, better right first time image-taking rates and better staff efficiency. The most important issues impacting the PACS market in North America and Europe include:
- Difficulty in radiological departments justifying the cost of PACS solution deployment
- Lack of skills within hospitals to manage, store, locate and transfer images, and securely
- PACS delivers the greatest ROI benefits and improvement in patient healthcare as part of an integrated HIS / IHCS (Integrated Healthcare Communications System)
solutions
- PACS delivery within hospitals will migrate to that of a service and will be charged on a usage basis, whether delivered by a vendor or a hospital.
The healthcare provider market requires more expertise and knowledge than purely the provision of PACS solutions. In order for the true potential of PACS to be unleashed, vendors need to understand how PACS interoperates and affects all hospital functions that it impacts or rely upon it. PACS is one module, albeit an important one, in delivery of healthcare. Vendors need to bring added value to the market beyond the deployment, support and maintenance of PACS solutions this goes beyond purely the deployment of imaging equipment. Vendors need to deliver other IT healthcare solutions, either through developing internal expertise or creating partnerships in order to
access longer-term and more significant revenue streams.
This report is designed to help you answer the taxing questions that will hit your bottomline, whether you are inside or outside the PACS market. Our report discusses how PACS will evolve and the role it will perform in the Healthcare IT market and Healthcare delivery. This forecast report not only delivers a broad quantitative analysis of the market in question but also provide strategic advice and recommendations for companies to capitalise on the changing direction of the PACS market.
