Summary

Integrated medical IT is the future of healthcare provision and it is growing fast. With steady progress toward linking all aspects of patient care, the medical device industry must understand the technical, manufacturing and commercial partnering opportunities.

The importance of this sector of healthcare is demonstrated in the pivotal role it plays in the US government's stimulation package. President Obama has highlighted IT as key to reducing medical errors and the overall cost of healthcare in the US, and has pledged to bring IT tools into more widespread use as part of his US$143 billion healthcare investment.

While key device areas such as medical imaging and patient monitoring are integrated into many hospital systems, the requirement for integrated systems is making in-roads to new areas, for example infusion pumps and remote monitoring devices. And the market is spreading out of its traditional hospital setting to primary and home care environments.

Manufacturing standards in several device sectors are still being developed and companies must ensure their research is fully compatible with end user requirements. Furthermore, as the market moves towards total solution provision, the interplay and partnering between IT system providers and clinical device manufacturers can be expected to increase.
