Abstract
The third quarter of 2005 continued a trend of positive developments in the
healthcare information technology marketplace. A significant development was the
publication of RAND s peer-reviewed study that indicates healthcare information
technology could save the country s healthcare system $162 billion annually through
improved efficiency, disease management and reduced adverse drug events. This
study provides large-scale, independent, quantified proof of the impact healthcare
information technology can have.
Information systems are emerging as a significant part of the home care delivery
systems. Software leverages the efficiency of clinical process in ways that have
never become possible before. The system leverages virtually all the administrative
and financial information needed to run a successful home care company.
Information can be gathered right from the charts.
The significance of integration systems is not yet realized in homecare information
systems. However, as patients move from one care venue to another, the patient
record is going to need to move with them. The hand-held, computer-based system
guides home care clinicians through the entire patient care process. Clinicians can
use structured record guides. The systems automate reporting.
McKesson is the worldwide leader in homecare information systems. Worldwide
homecare medical information systems market shares markets are illustrated in
Figure ES-2. Mckesson is the worldwide leader with 34% market share and Mysis
HCIS leads in the U.S. with 26% market share.
Cerner BeyondNow Technologies and Patient Care Technologies are the number
three and four market participants with 11% market share and Siemens / Novis the
number five market participant with 8% share. Fujitsu is a market share market
participant with 6% with measurable share.
