Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/04eaa47f/social_and_economi) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Social and Economic Benefits of Healthcare IT in EMEA Countries" to their offering.
Electronically Enhanced Healthcare Fosters Improved Healthcare Delivery in EMEA Countries
Initiatives by governments of European countries are boosting the adoption of IT systems in the healthcare sector. Increasing awareness about healthcare IT across the Middle East and other regions will fuel greater adoption. In Germany, the introduction of health smart cards for every citizen has had an impact on the use of electronic patient records. There are signs of an increase in the need of hospitals to manage patient-related information and administrative tasks associated with billing and coordination with health insurance sickness funds. Such initiatives are expected to have a positive effect on the use of Internet and healthcare IT in the German healthcare sector.
The increasing IT Investment among the private sector, steps-up the potential funds for private healthcare in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) countries for healthcare IT systems, says the analyst of this research. The private hospitals sector in EMEA is growing due to investments from the local operators. Many customers in Russia and South Africa are opting for services offered by the private sector. Private operators invest more in IT adoption than public companies, thereby increasing the potential of IT adoption in the healthcare sector in countries such as South Africa, Russia and Saudi Arabia.
However, low acceptance level for healthcare IT solutions among healthcare providers in EMEA countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Russia and South Africa hampers the implementation and utilisation rates of systems. While the reluctance of the healthcare providers' restrains the market growth, the lower acceptance levels of the healthcare professionals, challenges both the penetration rates and the utilisation rates of the systems, explains the analyst.
