Healthcare Market Drivers
Three broad drivers for healthcare transformation: cost containment, greater collaboration and improved quality of care
$ Rising healthcare costs and economic pressures are increasingly constraining access and quality◦ Tax shortfall◦ Rise in unemployment◦ Lack of transparency ◦ Dramatic increase in uninsured population and uncompensated care
Value-driven healthcare will drive optimization and require proactive collaboration among all stakeholders◦ Governments, Payers and Providers shifting focus beyond acute care to Wellness,
Prevention and Chronic Disease management
Increasing demand for improved quality and outcomes measurement

Most Commonly Used Definition of EHR
10
Electronic Health Record (EHR)“a secure, real-time, point-of-care, patient-centric information
resource for clinicians.
The EHR aids the clinicians’ decision-making by providing access to patient health record information when they need it and incorporates evidence-based decision support.
The EHR automates and streamlines the clinicians’ workflow, ensuring all clinical information is communicated and ameliorates delays in response that result in delays or gaps in care.
The EHR also supports the collection of data for uses other than clinical care, such as billing, quality management, outcomes reporting, and public health disease surveillance and reporting.”
Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a building block process
11
and the Clinical System is a major foundation block …. and the Clinical System is a major foundation block ….
Clinical Systems Vendor Landscape has Changed …….
12
Vendors are becoming full service providers -- through acquisitions and some system building
Payers are getting into product offering
Vendors are migrating to an “open system” platform, i.e., ability to interface with other systems easily
• Health systems are leveraging technology to support and meet their quality strategic plan such as Patient Safety, saving lives and reliable information
Some health systems are adopting “Best of Breed” approaches with appropriate boundaries – supporting quality strategic goal and meeting user needs while adding value
Lines between inpatient and ambulatory vendors are diminishing

Overwhelmingly recognized as the leader – second to none.
Generally recognized as a leader - could be tied with one other.
Considered equivalent to others – tied with two or more.
Needs improvement – More than three other vendors considered materially better.
Not generally available – may be building it but doesn’t have it today.
Comparative Scale:
Each vendor was scored according to the scale
