European Hospital Information Systems Markets


Description: This Frost & Sullivan research service titled European Hospital Information Systems Market provides an overview of this market with special emphasis on clinical information systems and administrative solutions and a complete analysis of key market drivers, restraints and prevailing trends. In this research service, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the revenues and growth rates for the HIS market and its different segments.

European Union Proactively Promotes HIS, Driving System Uptake

Hospital information systems (HIS) are well on their way to becoming an integral part of the European healthcare system and hospitals could soon achieve a virtually paper-free environment. Continuous technological advancements in HIS have coincided with hospitals’ growing interest in applying communication technology in healthcare. Most importantly, the governments of European countries have been taking proactive steps to promote the installation and use of HIS in hospitals at the grass root level. This is perhaps the biggest driver of the HIS market in Europe. Initiatives such as Germany’s introduction of smart cards in healthcare and England’s e-booking services that allow patients to schedule appointments and doctors to recommend tests or scans have been well accepted, indicating a promising future for HIS in Europe.

"The European Union has made significant strides towards the promotion of e-health and has ensured smooth working between different synergies to make this possible," says the analyst of this research service. "With several local and regional initiatives underway and more in the pipeline, e-health expenditure is expected to account for 5.0 per cent of the total health budget by 2010." Currently, there is a mix of systems in the market as state-of-the-art technology coexists with legacy systems. It has been observed that hospitals prefer to buy or replace individual modules rather than purchase an entire system. There is also a distinct preference for integrated systems rather than stand-alone ones.

Creation of Central Databases of Patient Information a Major Trend in European HIS Market
Large-scale consolidation of healthcare data and patient information taking place is currently one of the leading trends in the European HIS market. The idea behind these measures, actively promoted by governments in Europe, is to set up a central database of data that will contain important patient information. Efforts in this regard are already underway in projects such as NHS Spine, part of the NHS Connecting for Health initiative in England as well as in other pilot projects in Scandinavia. Governments are also devising procedural guidelines regarding privacy and accessibility of such data.

Streamlining patients’ medical information and restricting it to brief summaries that convey only what is absolutely essential to the doctor is another growing trend in HIS. Going forward, patient information is expected to be recorded in this manner and these patient summaries are likely to be stored in the central database. In an emerging development, doctors and medical professionals have started using HIS for disease management and disease prevention. As a proactive step toward preventing the onset of symptoms, healthcare professionals are increasingly using information systems along with patient monitoring systems to routinely examine patients and monitor their conditions.
