Telecommunications, IT and Healthcare: Wireless
Networks, Digital Healthcare and the Transformation of US Healthcare,
2009 - 2014
a market research report
|
|
In the US, the $2.4 trillion ecosystem of
hospitals, physicians, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers
that make up the healthcare industry will be spending tens of billions
of dollars between now and 2014 on telecommunications services and
equipment. The new administration has raised the importance of
improving health care, while simultaneously solving the costs
challenges. Stimulus funding for computerized medical records,
prevention and wellness initiatives, research, and workforce training
has already started.
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. The Congressional Budget
Office estimates that by 2025, one out of every four dollars in our
national economy will be tied up in the health system.
Fiber optics, wireless access, and digital
transmission will transform healthcare networks, while extending care to
remote patients via telemedicine applications will lower healthcare
delivery costs. The healthcare industry may finally be poised to make
the commitment to a new generation of networking technology.
This study examines the transformation of
healthcare information technology, the trends in provider care, and the
forces that shape this massive industry. We survey a representative
number of US hospitals and care providers, make recommendations for
carriers who address this industry, and provide forecasts of spending
for hardware and network services.

Report Excerpt
|
|
Many of the predictions made in our previous report,
Telecommunications, IT and Healthcare: Wireless Networks, Digital Healthcare
and the Transformation of US Healthcare, 2008-2012, have come to pass.
Healthcare has increased in every dimension, including per capita spending,
insurance premiums, out-of-pocket payments, rates of treatment, and the
number of uninsured. Accordingly, healthcare spending on telecommunications
has increased at the pace consistent with our prior analysis.
The volume of healthcare transactions and the amount of
electronic information exchanged over healthcare networks continues to grow
faster than any other vertical industry. Telecommunications providers have
responded to increasing demand with more bandwidth, higher performance, and
mobility products. In the US, the new administration under President Barack
Obama has raised the importance of improving health care, while trying to
solve the costs challenges that accompany this growth.
Since our last report, healthcare IT service and
software providers have grown through consolidation, providing more
integrated healthcare solutions—combining wireline and wireless networks and
integrating IT platforms with healthcare applications. These providers
continue to expand their healthcare solutions practice by partnering with
healthcare application providers.
For telecommunications providers, healthcare is an
attractive market. The US healthcare industry is a $2.6 trillion ecosystem
of hospitals, physicians, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance
providers. Outpacing all other industries, healthcare is projected to grow
