Abstract
This IDC study provides an overview of healthcare-provider development and
structure in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia, as well as
ehealth development policies. This study also contains results and analysis of
IDC CEMA' s flagship Health Industry Insights Survey, which involved in-depth
interviews with more than 300 healthcare providers in the region to provide
insight into IT staffing and organization; status with regard to EU-wide
ehealth targets (including European Health Insurance Cards - EHICs - and
development of electronic medical records); as well as present and future
trends in overall IT investment, wireless and mobile technology investment, and
IT security investment in the Central European healthcare sector.
"Healthcare providers in this region don' t invest in IT until they are forced
to. Vendors therefore need to monitor - and even be prepared to advise their
healthcare-provider clients on - EU- and country-level ehealth targets to best
capitalize on IT investment growth in the CE healthcare sector." - Heather
Keyes, Research Analyst, IDC CEMA
