The global Hospital Information Systems (HIS) market was valued at $7.8 billion in 2009 and is forecast to reach $18 billion in 2016 after growing at Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13% from 2009. The growth in the market is primarily driven by government initiatives, hospitals trying to increase workflow efficiency and reimbursements provided by governments. Overall, hospitals strongly believe that adopting HIS will greatly increase its efficiency and reduce medical errors, thus improving patient's safety and quality of care. The Electronic Medical Records (EMR) segment is the largest segment in the HIS market valued at $3.4 billion in 2009 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.3% over the next seven years. Practice management was valued at $1.2 billion in 2009, and is the second largest segment, growing at a CAGR of 10.8% over the next seven years. Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), Pharmacy Information Systems (PIS) and Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) will grow at a CAGR of 12.1%, 9.7% and 10.6% respectively

Over the past decade, the political impetus for change in almost all western countries has become stronger and stronger. Evidence has increasingly shown that the current systems are not delivering sufficiently safe, high quality, efficient and cost effective healthcare and that computerization, with EMR at the centre, is effectively the only way forward. As a result, physicians and healthcare organizations around the world are now looking to adopt more EMR technologies and major companies in the market are vying for various collaborations to reach office-based physicians.

Governments in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, New Zealand, the UK, the US and other countries have announced and are implementing plans to build integrated computer-based national healthcare infrastructures based around the deployment of interoperable EMR systems. Many of these countries aim to have EMR systems deployed for their populations within the next 10 years.

The US Market is expected to be the Fastest Growing Market for Hospital Information Systems from 2009 to 2015

The HIS market in the US was valued at $2.6 billion in 2009 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.3% over the next seven years.

The economic stimulus provided by the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) will increase the adoption rates to 90% for physicians and 70% for hospitals in the US. The ARRA, signed into law by President Obama on February 17th 2009, has allocated $20 billion towards health IT (Information Technology). The ARRA promises financial incentives to providers and hospitals for the meaningful use of certified healthcare IT products. Under the provisions of ARRA, incentive payments made to physicians and hospitals are expected to significantly increase the uptake of certified healthcare IT systems, according to an analysis from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Under the ARRA, the CBO estimates that, by 2019, 65% of physicians and 45% of hospitals will have adopted certified healthcare IT systems. Before 2009, HIS adoption rates stood at only 10%, with private hospitals being the only market for vendors in the US. The government stands to gain by the reduction of medical errors, reduced adverse event related costs and improved the overall healthcare system by bringing workflow efficiency and accountability. This change to improve efficiency throughout the healthcare systems and improve patient safety came in 2004 with President Bush's federal initiative to establish Electronic Health Records (EHR) for all Americans by 2014.

Privacy and Security to be Important Features of HIS Products

With computerization, tens or hundreds of thousands of health records can be accessed or disclosed through a single trespasser in the system. Keeping this in mind, healthcare IT vendors have started giving strong emphasis on standards and are going to invest more on the privacy and security features of their products, as well as make it a key part of their marketing message. In a 2006, the National Consumer Health Privacy Survey, California Healthcare Foundation in the US, found that:

80% respondents were very concerned about identity theft or fraud.

67% of respondents were "somewhat" or "very concerned" about the privacy of their personal medical records.

56% are concerned about employers having access to their health information.

55% were concerned about insurers gaining access to this information.

In Europe, the European Directive 95/46/EC (protection of personal data) is recognized and accepted as the world's highest privacy standard. It calls for organizations to look at standardizing data formats and ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to the patient records. This EU (European Union) legislation, along with the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) in the US, will be taken into consideration in the development of healthcare IT infrastructure, while maintaining patient data privacy and security across the world.

GE Healthcare and Siemens are the two leading companies in the hospital information systems market and together account for 24% of the total market. GE healthcare is the market leader with 13% of the market share, followed by Siemens Healthcare and Cerner Corporation with 12% and 9% respectively. The GE centricity package of software is most comprehensive and successful HIS product in market. It caters to all segments of HIS and therefore evades the interoperability problem among various segments since it is based on the same centricity platform which makes it more integrated and interoperable than other IT vendors who offer specialized systems only.
