Vendor CEO: Final Report
|
Clinical information systems, including enterprise-wide applications and computer based patient records, continue to be identified as the most important for healthcare clients over the next two years. |
Survey respondents were asked to identify the five healthcare applications areas they considered to be the most important for their healthcare clients over the next two years. Enterprise-wide clinical information sharing was identified most frequently, cited by 52 percent of respondents. This response was not included in last year’s survey. Computer-based patient records remained in the number two slot, identified by 51 percent of respondents, compared with 58 percent last year. Clinical information systems, identified by the most respondents last year (65 percent), fell to third, cited by only 49 percent of respondents this year.
Financial and administrative applications, and point-of-care clinical decision support systems both declined 15 percentage points from last year’s response rate. Business intelligence/decision support systems declined by nearly 12 percentage points.
