This study analyses the Hospital Information systems market in Europe with 2008 as the base year. It provides a complete analysis of the market dynamics such as market segmentation based on various factors, drivers, restraints, challenges and strategies of the market, market share analysis, competitive structure etc. The study mainly provides an estimated quantification of the market, by segments.
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Hospital Information Systems Market in Europe provides detailed market analysis by segment and covers market drivers, restraints and industry challenges, strategies to overcomes them, market share analysis as well as competitive structure in the United Kingdom, Germany and Scandinavia. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine complete and partial hospital information systems (HIS) solutions for clinical, administrative and financial applications in small-sized, medium-sized and large-sized hospitals.
Significant Government Efforts to Invest in the Healthcare Sector Drives the European Hospital Information Systems Market
While many hospitals in Europe have some sort of information system in place, few have fully integrated and functional HIS solutions. The adoption rate of HIS solutions in 2008 in Europe was diverse, from approximately 73.0 per cent in Italy and Spain to 95.0 per cent in Scandinavia. “Government and regulatory authorities are compelled to increase investments into healthcare automation due to political pressure as well as public demand,” says the analyst of this research. “A significant part of the government’s budget allocation goes towards healthcare, with the healthcare expenditure versus the gross domestic product (GDP) of the countries growing, worldwide.”
However, the growth rate in the HIS market is considerably lower because of the decreasing number of potential end users year after year. Additionally, the market’s penetration rate has almost reached its saturation level. Another significant challenge lies in the lack of adequate adaptable and flexible systems, leading to complex system architecture, reducing the utilisation rates of HIS systems amongst hospital staff. “The workflow environment in a hospital is more complex than other sectors and the data processing workflow could extend from several departments to across sectors and territories,” notes the analyst. “Therefore, it is vital for the systems to be highly flexible and adaptable and encompass powerful, effective and user-friendly tools to support the end users.” Moreover, the large number of potential people to access or change the medical data makes security concerns an issue.
“Despite low investments from private and non-profit hospitals, their numbers are on the rise and vendors should pitch for low-cost systems in these sectors,” concludes the analyst. “Vendors should promote low-cost systems such as remotely hosted systems and application service provider (ASP) systems to su
