Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a66929/state_and_local_he) has announced the addition of the "State and Local Health Care IT Market, 2007-2012" report to their offering.
A generational turnover in Medicaid management systems, combined with health IT innovation, will drive vertical growth from $6.9 billion (2007) to $10.8 billion (2012).
Addressing the health care needs of the nation's uninsured as well as retiring Baby Boomers will be the defining domestic political issue of the next decade. The debate over whether there is a crisis of health care costs is finished. The new debate is over what to do about it. The role of state and local governments within the larger U.S. health care system will be at the heart of the new debate.
Produced by INPUT as part of its State & Local Industry Analysis program, the State and Local Health Care IT Market, 2007-2012 report provides a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. state and local government market for information technology (IT) within the health care vertical. The Health Care IT market encompasses the technology that supports government organizations responsible for the administration of public health agencies, community health services, and health insurance programs.
Key forces currently shaping this market include:
-- The continuing emergence of 'health IT' as the galvanizing concept for transforming all aspects of the U.S. health care system from one based on incidents of service to one based on quality of outcomes
-- Steadily increasing numbers of uninsured residents who are driving up the cost of health care with particular impact on Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) spending as well as public 'safety net' hospitals and clinics
-- The pending retirement of the Baby Boomers which will squeeze governments in a fiscal vice with increased health care costs on one side (i.e., pensions, Medicare, Medicaid/SCHIP) and, on the other side, the inability of Boomers and the generations behind them to bear the increasing financial burden of a highly inefficient health care system
-- Increasing public concerns over the potential impact of epidemics and pandemics and the need to better monitor and respond to outbreaks early
Key Topics Covered:
-- Front Matter
-- Introduction
-- Executive Summary
-- State and Local Health Care IT
-- Conclusions and Recommendations
