Global Clinical Decision and Support System Market is Witnessing Rampant Growth with Siemens Healthineers launching its clinical decision support platform
A clinical decision support system,
also known as a CDS, is a large-scale health information exchange system that
is primarily designed to offer physicians and other healthcare professionals
direct clinical assistance, which is, essentially, help with clinical
decision-making activities. It can take several forms, the most common of which
are computerized patient records (CPR) and electronic health records (EHR). A
primary focus of this system is to improve the quality of care delivered by
healthcare professionals through improved access to up-to-date and accurate
clinical data.
Increasing demand to reduce
healthcare expenditure is expected to drive growth of the global clinical decision and support system
market. According to
the World Bank, healthcare expenditure in the U.K. reached 9.997% of the GDP in
2018, increasing from 9.166% in 2008. According to the same source, healthcare
expenditure in the U.S. reached 16.885% of the GDP in 2018, increasing from
15.286% in 2008. Besides, according to the Centers for Medical & Medicaid
Services (CMS), the U.S. healthcare expenditure reached US$ 3.8 trillion or US$
11,582 per person. Such a massive increase in healthcare expenditure has
necessitated the adoption of clinical decisions and support systems. The CDSS
offers increased quality of care and makes it cost-effective. It improves
efficiency and provides patient satisfaction. Hence, such factors are expected
to drive growth of the global clinical decision and support system market. Furthermore,
increasing incidence of medication errors is expected to propel the global
clinical decision and support system market growth in the near future.
However, data security concerns
related to cloud-based CDSS and lack of interoperability are expected to
restrain growth of the global clinical decision and support system market.
Besides, technological advancements and social media integration can provide
major business opportunities in the near future. Among regions, North America
is expected to witness significant growth in the global clinical decision and
support system market. This is owing to increasing demand for healthcare IT
solutions in the medical sector across the region. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is
expected to register a robust growth rate, owing to increasing investments in
the healthcare sector in emerging economies such as India, China, Japan, and
Singapore.
Key companies operating in the global
clinical decision and support system market are Cerner Corporation, Siemens
Healthineers AG, EPIC, Koninklijke Philips NV, IBM Corporation, Meditech, and
Change Healthcare.
For instance, in March 2020, Siemens
Healthineers AG launched its clinical decision support platform teamplay
digital health platform.
