The Surge of Global Participants Entering the European Healthcare Industry is Pressurising Surgical Management Systems Vendors to Develop Interoperable as Well as Easily Integrable Solutions.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45897) has announced the addition of "Surgical Management Systems Markets in Europe" to their offering.

Developing Interoperable The ability for one system to communicate or work with another. See interoperability.  and Easily Integrable Solutions a Key Challenge

The surge of global participants entering the European healthcare industry is pressurising surgical management systems vendors to develop interoperable as well as easily integrable solutions. This is a huge challenge in an industry dominated by legacy systems vendors and hospitals that have already integrated various management and individual clinical solutions with existing healthcare information systems (HIS). Interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other.  between systems at an enterprise level is critical for various departments to share information seamlessly so that everyone concerned can access and make use of vital surgery-related details.

 information as well as provide easy and timely access are most likely to meet with success.

This Frost & Sullivan research service provides a comprehensive overview of and an outlook for the European surgical management systems markets, covering market drivers and restraints, industry challenges and strategic recommendations as well as product and geographical trends. This can help participants capitalise on the major growth opportunities available in the markets.

Need for Better Inventory Management and Efficiency Drives Market

The challenge of providing superior healthcare under strict budgets is compelling healthcare providers to adopt IT solutions to achieve greater efficiency. Across Europe, hospitals are increasingly focusing on achieving various key goals such as enhancing physician satisfaction and patient safety, reducing operating expenses Operating expenses

The amount paid for asset maintenance or the cost of doing business, excluding depreciation. Earnings are distributed after operating expenses are deducted.
 as well as increasing the number of cases to boost profitability. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the surgical management systems markets, remarks the analyst of this research service. The initiatives taken by healthcare authorities are set to become the principal drivers for information systems implementation in the operating room operating room

 (OR).

Moreover, hospitals are facing increasing cancellation of cases due to shortage of employees, lack of required inventory and delays in information access. Implementing surgery informatics Same as information technology and information systems. The term is more widely used in Europe.  can provide effective solutions to these issues. Already, hospitals are using scheduling solutions, which are a part of surgery management systems, to plan OR activities and the allocation of resources allocation of resources

 required there. This helps improve efficiency and prevents delays or cancellations of cases.

Systems Integration seen as the Way Forward

While the HIS industry in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.

 strict federal regulations that govern transactions, security issues and standards use, this is not the case in Europe. As a result, many disparate solutions developed by different vendors prevail in the individual European markets. This has created the need for a common systems architecture that ensures improved healthcare delivery through better integration of delivery systems and quick access to patient data.

With this in mind, several multinational companies are attempting to adapt their successful American systems The term American System can mean one of the following:
  • American system of manufacturing, for a system of manufacturing developed in America.
  • American System (economic plan), for the program of Henry Clay and the Whig Party.
 to European needs. However, local participants will have to make added efforts in this direction. Systems integration within the OR and other interlinked departments of a hospital boosts efficiency and profits by optimising OR utilisation and streamlining workflow The automatic routing of documents to the users responsible for working on them. Workflow is concerned with providing the information required to support each step of the business cycle. . Keeping in view the industry trends of low expenditure and replacement rates of legacy systems, vendors have to ensure compatibility with existing systems, says the analyst. The new system needs to be interactive as well as integrate preoperative, operative and postoperative information.
