Research Overview
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled European Market for Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) Systems provides a comprehensive examination of key market trends including drivers and restraints. Also discussed are industry challenges along with strategic recommendations. The following CPOE systems are covered in the research: ambulatory and in-patient.
Market Overview
Need to Reduce Medication Errors Boosts Uptake of CPOE Systems
European health ministries are keen on improving the IT infrastructure in the health sector. The higher adoption rate of HIS, EMR and other e-health services has directly impacted the growth of the CPOE systems market. The healthcare industry has realised the important role that technologies such as CPOE can play in reducing medication errors. However, as the economic crisis has resulted in reduced healthcare budgets, market participants need to devise cost-effective solutions while enabling hospitals to reduce medication-related adverse events.
“Improved IT adoption in the healthcare sector, paralleled by the need to reduce medication errors, are driving the growth of CPOE systems in Europe,” notes the analyst of this research. “Similarly, integrating CPOE with other existing e-health services is the biggest trend that is expected to support accelerated growth from 2013.” Increasing receptiveness to and continuous government support for IT solutions in healthcare has led to the wider adoption of HIS and EMR, which directly improves the penetration of CPOE. The market is expected to witness more rapid growth from 2013, due to the integration of CPOE with existing IT services in healthcare units.
High Initial Costs Paralleled by Shrinking Healthcare Budgets Threatens Wider Adoption
High initial costs and shrinking budgets present important challenges for market participants. The high outlays involved in adopting such systems against a backdrop of straitened healthcare budgets have underlined the cautionary attitude being displayed by many hospitals towards CPOE. “CPOE systems are witnessing relatively slow paced market penetration mainly due to the initial costs involved in steering this service into mainstream hospital applications,” remarks the analyst. “Since the recent economic crisis, public expenditure has dropped significantly and hospitals are reluctant to make new investments.”
Understanding client needs, customising products to meet customer requirements and presenting a broader service range will encourage uptake by hospitals and healthcare providers who are grappling with shrinking budgets. At the same time, reducing initial expenditures and integration costs will propel market penetration, especially in small- and medium-sized hospitals. “Developing services that are easy to integrate will be key to success in the European CPOE systems market,” advises the analyst. “Mitigating the high integration cost will not only boost the adoption rate for CPOE systems but will also ensure higher revenue generation for market participants.”
