New HIMSS Analytics Essentials Brief Highlights Top Research From 2016, IT Application Adoption Forecasts For Next 24 Months

HIMSS Analytics has released its latest Essentials Brief, the 2016 Year in Review and 2017 through 2018 Health IT Demand Forecasts, which provides a high level review of 2016 Essential Brief findings and our analytical outlook on the adoption for 81 healthcare applications. While Essential Briefs are typically market research studies focused on identifying salient topics in the healthcare IT space, this Brief is focused on what has transpired across technology areas such as telemedicine, precision medicine and population health, and looks forward to what the U.S. hospital market expects to adopt in the next 12 to 24 months.

“The healthcare market has encountered an enormous level of change, from new technologies and initiatives to new regulations, to help advance the move from volume to value based care, to improve outcomes and lower the overall cost of patient care,” says HIMSS Analytics Director of Research, Brendan FitzGerald. “Population health, data analytics and precision medicine are just some of the topics that were top of mind in 2016. Adoption of technology is expected to continue and the analysis provided in this study will highlight some of the more active application demand and adoption areas in healthcare over the next 24 months.”

Highlights of the study include:

• Review of top findings for 2016 Essential Briefs, including Telemedicine, Precision Medicine and Population Health
• An update on the state of the U.S. hospital market according to the Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM)
• Predictive adoption outlook for 81 different healthcare IT applications, individually and grouped together in 14 specific indexes, from December 2016 to November 2018.
