Abstract
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is the bread and butter concern of the health
information technology marketplace. Government initiatives and cost concerns
are key drivers of EMR and will continue to drive purchases of EMR systems in
the near future. Technologies such as patient monitoring systems and handheld
devices will need to adapt to EMR systems to thrive. Those seeking to
understand the health IT market will need to build products that address the
need for EMR, or work around existing systems and an understanding of EMR
products in the marketplace is critical.
A Dynamic Market
Since the last time that Kalorama tackled the EMR market in a market research
study two years ago, there have been significant changes. Who are the main
players in EMR now? What types of EMR systems are being requested by hospitals
and physicians? What are the costs of installing an EMR system for hospitals
and physicians? What kind of plans are vendors offering? How much can vendors
expect to compete for in the next five years?
This report provides information on the most important companies competing in
this market. Vendors are a vital part of shaping this industry, but having the
competitive intelligence is just one part of advancing this industry.
Participants need to be ever vigilant of the economic pulse and the
government' s role in healthcare to properly meet the challenges facing the
industry today and in the future.
