DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/be6851/analysis_of_the_no) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Analysis of the North American Cardiovascular Image and Information Management Systems Market" to their offering.
Assessing Growth Trends in Cardiology PACS and Integrated CVIS:
This study covers the North American market for cardiovascular image and information management systems including cardiology picture archiving and communication systems (C-PACS) and cardiovascular information systems (CVIS) by examining drivers and restraints, revenue, units, and pricing forecasts as well as technology trends, procedure volumes, regulatory forces, and customer demand.
Market revenue is forecasted across market sub-segments such as the various imaging modalities comprising the cardiovascular care continuum, various customer segments making up the total market, and various solution types presenting distinct market opportunities. The base year is 2010, and forecasts are made until 2017.
Examples of Key Findings:
- Following in the footsteps of radiology but still many years behind as far as IT adoption, cardiology departments are still ramping up their workflow and data digitization processes.
- With a less appealing return-on-investment (ROI) model, the adoption of IT systems for cardiology image management is evolving more slowly than with radiology IT.
- There is already a significant amount of cardiology picture archiving and communication system (C-PACS) technology being used in catheterization (cath) and echocardiography (echo) labs in the United States.
- Integrated multi-modality solutions are becoming the norm in cardiovascular image and information management systems (CIIMS), as the main market opportunity consists of replacing existing single-modality solutions.
- New generation multi-modality solutions allow consolidation of cardiovascular imaging from cath and echo labs as well as from nuclear imaging, computed tomography (CT) imaging, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, vascular ultrasound, and intravascular ultrasound.
- Current C-PACS solutions are no longer limited to the image management function; they perform several information management functions as well.
- U.S. hospitals now need to focus their IT efforts on achieving meaningful use (MU) to be eligible for stimulus funding through the Healthcare Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health's (HITECH) provisions of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
- Given that the first and second phases of MU implementation focus on electronic medical records (EMRs) and do not involve imaging, the C-PACS market will only benefit from HITECH funds starting in 2013.
