Telecom, IT and Healthcare: Wireless, Wireline and Digital Healthcare
2008 - 2013
a market research report
|
|
The $2 trillion ecosystem of hospitals, physicians, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers will be spending tens of billions of dollars over the next five years on telecommunications services. Rising healthcare industry costs and a shortage of skilled staff have created a lucrative opportunity for technology and service providers, as hospitals and other front-line healthcare providers look to adopt new technology to lower their operating costs. Wireless LANs, VoIP deployments, the RFID tagging of patients and hospital assets, as well as extending care to remote patients via telemedicine applications all promise to lower healthcare delivery costs. While the initial deployment analysis for revamped technology suggested long ago an increase in productivity and reduction in healthcare providers operating costs, more recent studies of patient satisfaction, the availability of federal grants, and upcoming Medicare reimbursement policy for connection charges suggest that in the months and years ahead the healthcare industry is ready to make the commitment to a new generation of networking technology.
This study examines the emergence of techno-healthcare, surveys the rollout plans for a representative number of US hospitals, and forecasts spending for hardware and network services across the healthcare industry.

Report Excerpt

Many of the trends we predicted in our previous report,
Telecommunications, IT and Healthcare: Wireless Networks, Digital
Healthcare and the Transformation of US Healthcare, 2006-2011, have come
to pass. Healthcare has increased in every dimension, including per capita
spending, insurance premiums, and rates of treatment. Telecommunications
and IT (information technology) providers have responded with more
bandwidth, packet services, healthcare applications (video monitoring,
electronic health records, and telemedicine), and wireless access.
Furthermore, the telecommunications and IT industries
are more consolidated in 2008 than they were at the time of our previous
report. Service providers such as AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint, and software
providers, such as SAP, have grown through consolidation. They are now in a
position to be able to provide more integrated healthcare
solutions—combining wireline and wireless networks and integrating IT
platforms with healthcare applications. These providers have also expanded
their healthcare solutions practice by partnering with healthcare
application providers.
For telecommunications and IT providers, health care is
an attractive market. The US healthcare industry is a $2.3 trillion
ecosystem of hospitals, physicians, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance
providers. Outpacing all other industries, healthcare is projected to grow
6.9 percent per year to $4.1 trillion by 2016. This increased emphasis and
spending on healthcare reflects the increased value that consumers perceive
in medical treatment. At the same time, providers and patients share the
objective of improving healthcare quality and reducing costs. Information
technology and telecommunications will play......................
