Medical information on the process at the macro by national health policies. Market-oriented reforms in recent years, the medical business was driven by investment in information technology, and reform policy changes, but also for some small hospitals are no more ability to invest. The recent reform of public service-oriented tendency, beneficial changes in the pattern of past investment.
In today\\ s rapid development of information technology, medical industry, information technology investment year on year. Medical and health services related to people\\ s livelihood, and medical information is medical and health services in the information age can better serve patients, an important support service to the community, is being more and more government departments and relevant enterprises and organizations concerned.
Healthcare information technology investment growth slowed, increasing year by year
Medical information on the process at the macro by national health policies. Market-oriented reforms in recent years, the medical business was driven by investment in information technology, and reform policy changes, but also for some small hospitals are no more ability to invest. The recent reform of public service-oriented tendency, beneficial changes in the pattern of past investment.
Application of information technology from the hospital perspective, a different scale the level of hospital IT applications is still evident. Overall, the high level of IT application level higher than the average hospital lower level hospitals.
Most tertiary hospitals and some of the first of the two hospitals, has been basically completed the construction of the first round of the HIS system, part of the advanced tertiary hospital HIS system has entered a consolidation phase; and most of a hospital and part of the following two hospitals are HIS system in the building of the first round of the process.
PACS / RIS system at all levels of the distribution of the hospital basically similar, but the number of hospitals in the application of the system in general less certain. In some advanced hospitals, including PACS / RIS, LIS, including the integration of hospital information system (or integrated HIS system) applications are relatively mature. Meanwhile, the mobile information technology and other new technology is entering the hospital information technology applications.
The rapid development of public health information. After 2003, public health information technology and application quick start in 2006, into a more substantial construction phase, and achieved initial results. Integrated emergency health system planning, but also into the work of the Ministry of Health.
Administrative systems at all levels of health, disease prevention and control system, an integrated collection of health information resources platform system, health inspection information systems, disease early warning and monitoring systems, medical treatment information system, based on geographic information system (GIS) of the Command and Control information systems, public health information service system, has a few advanced cities in the country began construction.
From the medical point of view the structure of investment in IT applications, information technology investment each year toward a more optimal structure changes. 2002 to 2006, an increasing proportion of low hardware products, software and services, the proportion is increasing. More new applications emerge, the development and outsourcing services, IT services market, compared with the growth of health care provided a new impetus.
Telemedicine and regional health information technology applications, is the redistribution of medical resources to play a more active role. The one hand, doctors and medical equipment on the allocation of resources, so that benefit economically backward regions; the other hand, the allocation of resources in the patient, such as the realization of two-way referral, but also help alleviate the large hospital resource constraints, make full use of small the hospital\\ s medical resources.
Healthcare information technology market demand outlook
According to the analysis of CMP Consulting and forecasts, 2007 to 2011, China\\ s medical industry information technology investment is expected to reach a compound annual growth rate of 17.7%. Investment in 2007 is expected to reach 6.839 billion yuan in 2011 will reach 13 billion yuan.
From the investment structure, the next five years, IT hardware investment proportion will decline further, the proportion of investment in software and services will be increased year by year.
The next five years, China\\ s medical information market will have the following trends:
① the medical industry for more companies to join the ranks of the IT market competition. Throughout China\\ s medical information market, starting from 1993 has gone through three stages of development. The first stage is to do HIS, a large number of independent software vendor (ISV) flock there; second stage is the price war and immature market, a large number of ISV drained; third phase is the involvement of foreign companies.
The future of China\\ s medical industry, the rapid growth of IT market, more manufacturers will be concerned about. International companies, in addition to Intel\\ s digital health care to single out, as with the Digital Enterprise, tied for the mobile market, the industry market, others such as IBM, Oracle, Cisco and so established a professional medical industry sectors.
The country, some manufacturers see this huge market, is involved, such as Founder acquisition program in the medical industry in order to provide five of the ISV Zhongbang. The most noteworthy is that the entry of foreign companies, they will undoubtedly medical information market becomes more competitive situation in full swing.
② IT and gradually expand the scope of application, and more new applications to enter the eye. HIS pattern of world domination will eventually be broken, it is being broken. Following the PACS (medical imaging information system) after the rapid development, USIS (ultrasound information system), PIS (pathology information system), CMS (cost accounting system), PEIS (Medical Information System) is also developing the future of electronic medical records, community a wider range of medical and health management, this also creates more applications.
In application, the process will continue a trilogy. The first step, billing systems and clinical systems; the second step, electronic medical records, structured system, more conducive to inquiry; the third step, the workflow engine, the main software development, SOA architecture, more flexible, you can re-process.
③ integrated healthcare IT products and services while to get people\\ s attention. ISV in many medical industry seems to integrate products and services, is to solve the original the best way to market with low profit margins, but also more in line with the Chinese people\\ s habits. While medical information is not related to service the main source of corporate profits, but began to rely more and more ISV services, the market to do the fine deep.
④ competitive pressures will lead to the medical products industry information integration between enterprises and service providers. Early appearance of ISV domestic enterprises to survive mostly through the introduction of strategic investment, etc., grow bigger, more survival and development opportunities. The next step will grow up ISV through acquisitions, integrate the region\\ s small ISV, customers get more resources, improve the product line, expand the battlefield, in response to competition from domestic and foreign firms.
⑤ integrated industrial chain to promote the integration of applications will become the future mainstream of development. For most of the main ISV, technology increasingly can not be the threshold of its development, and integration will become a focus of future competition. Cooperation with advanced manufacturers in its platform for development, will help domestic manufacturers stand to the global healthcare information technology applications in the forefront. Integration of industrial chain, integrating medical IT resources, applications will become the mainstream of medical information.
⑥ As the market matures, user needs become more rational. If the health care industry, users of IT procurement is divided into impulsive type, image type, rational three, then after several years of application and development of related processes and applications will become the core of user attention. And because users of business processes and applications to consider more and more users demand will become more rational.
⑦ medical information outsourcing, cross-enterprise integration of IT resources. From the development of advanced foreign experience, medical IT system outsourcing has been a certain degree of application, while the domestic market into the warm-up period. Medical IT outsourcing, IT resources to some extent may promote faster integration, to promote IT applications. For example, to implement telemedicine systems, government, hospitals, research institutions, telecommunications infrastructure operators, large-scale professional IT outsourcing service provider, the medical industry ISV, etc., may be integrated into a network, to jointly promote the development of medical and health services.
⑧ public health information will be rapid development in the country. After 2003, public health information technology to accelerate the pace of development; after 2005, public demand for health information technology to accelerate the release of evidence; expected starting in 2007 for the next five years, different areas of China\\ s public health information development will be further accelerated.
⑨ integrated regional health information to more demand for the release. The end of 2006, the Ministry of Science published \"regional collaborative care demonstration project,\" a list of major projects, assume the subject, has been clearly stated to be brought together multi-power, to \"the sharing of resources, long-term service, low cost, low risk\" building concept, building covering health, education, industry management, disease reporting and public health services, information services platform.
Reform process in the medical industry, how to integrate medical resources, to achieve better patient care institutions in the community between the referral and large hospitals as a key, and regional health information technology integration solutions to support its development as a key .
