MARKET OPPORTUNITIES & DRIVERS

The Expansion of E-prescribing Into Public Hospitals and Other Health Settings

The expansion of ePrescribing into public hospitals is transforming healthcare by enhancing medication management, accuracy, and operational efficiency. Traditionally slower to adopt new technologies due to size and complexity, public hospitals are now increasingly embracing ePrescribing, largely driven by government regulations aimed at improving healthcare outcomes, reducing medication errors, and cutting costs. In the U.S., laws like MACRA encourage adoption, while countries in the EU, such as the UK and Sweden, have established national programs mandating digital prescriptions in public hospitals.

This regulatory support promotes standardization, enhances patient safety, and streamlines care for large patient populations. ePrescribing also improves medication management by making prescriptions legible and accurate and by providing comprehensive medication histories, which helps avoid adverse drug interactions and over-prescription - a critical feature in high-volume public hospital settings.

The Adoption of Cloud-based Digital Record Keeping

The adoption of cloud-based digital record-keeping is transforming how organizations manage, store, and access information. As more businesses transition to digital systems, cloud technology has emerged as a vital tool for securely housing vast amounts of data. In healthcare, for example, the shift from paper-based records to cloud-based systems is enabling efficient storage of electronic health records (EHRs), enhancing accessibility for healthcare providers, and improving patient care by allowing for real-time data sharing across different locations. Cloud-based digital record-keeping allows organizations to access data from any location with an internet connection, streamlining operations for remote teams.

In industries like healthcare, education, and finance, this flexibility is vital for maintaining seamless service delivery. Healthcare professionals, for instance, can instantly retrieve patient records, leading to more informed decision-making and reduced chances of medical errors. Cloud solutions also eliminate the need for extensive physical storage, significantly reducing costs associated with maintaining on-site servers or filing systems. One of the key advantages of cloud-based record-keeping is the robust security measures integrated into these systems. Cloud service providers often invest in cutting-edge security protocols, including encryption, multi-factor authentication, and regular security updates, to protect sensitive data.

This is particularly important for industries handling confidential information, such as healthcare providers adhering to HIPAA regulations or financial institutions managing client data. Compliance with industry standards becomes more streamlined with cloud technology, as service providers ensure that their systems are up to date with the latest regulatory requirements.

Rising Focus on Reducing The Abuse of Controlled Substances

Amid the opioid crisis, reducing controlled substance abuse has become a priority in healthcare. E-prescribing systems, particularly those with Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS) capabilities, are essential for improving prescription monitoring and safety. Integrating Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) into e-prescribing allows providers to review a patient's medication history, identifying misuse patterns like "doctor shopping" and ensuring more informed, secure prescribing. Additionally, clinical decision support tools within e-prescribing systems alert prescribers to risks like drug interactions or high doses, promoting safer prescribing practices and minimizing misuse of controlled substances.

INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS

Lack of Interoperability Between Various Systems

Interoperability in healthcare, the seamless exchange and interpretation of data across systems, faces significant challenges despite technological progress. A major barrier is the lack of standardized data formats and protocols, which complicates access to comprehensive patient information. Limited policies supporting interoperability, along with vendor resistance to data sharing due to competitive concerns, further restrict seamless information flow. Additionally, integrating legacy systems with modern technologies is difficult and costly, slowing adoption and limiting the benefits of a connected healthcare ecosystem. Initiatives like the 21st Century Cures Act aim to address these issues, but significant hurdles remain for coordinated care.
