Homecare Consolidated Information Systems: Bringing A Stream Of Information To Providers And Clinical Staffs

Homecare consolidated front end, back end, integration, and medical information system software is targeted to non-acute health care distributors. This market has been highly fragmented. Consolidation in the market is causing significant change in the industry.

Products are differentiated in the market based upon the granularity of the offerings and the ability to meet the specific needs of the homecare providers.

The homecare market is changing. New services needed in the home include intravenous (IV) therapy, pain control, and basic needs services delivery. Delivery of new services depends on systems integration.

Delivery of these services depends as well on automation of the reimbursement process. The ability of the existing homecare dealer network to deliver advanced services in the home is limited in part by an inability to bill for those services. New systems fulfill that need.

U.S. homecare information systems and integration markets at $1.2 billion in 2001 are expected to reach $2.6 billion by 2010. U.S. homecare information systems markets are expected to grow at 17% per year in 2003, with the growth rate accelerating to 25% per year on average through 2010. Market forces for growth relate to the efficiency and efficacy of homecare services delivery.
