The market for high-acuity information systems (HAIS) in Europe consists of
surgical information systems (SIS), critical care information systems (CCIS),
perinatal information systems (PNIS), and emergency information systems
(EDIS). Despite a dip in unit sales due to the European economic crisis in
2012, the overall market will experience growth through to 2016, especially as
the eurozone economies recover towards the end of the forecast period. The SIS
market will experience the most rapid growth because hospitals use these
systems to increase the efficiency and workflow of their operating rooms
through the use of perioperative information systems (POIS). Limited hospital
budgets as a result of the economic crisis will, however, slow market growth.
Facilities are becoming more selective about the systems they acquire and are
more willing to delay both new and replacement purchases of HAIS. As well,
many hospitals are focusing on acquiring other health care IT solutions - such
as hospital information systems and electronic medical records - as a priority
over HAIS. Nonetheless, the overall expansion of the HAIS market in Europe
will be driven by the need for greater efficiency, improved workflow, error
reduction, and data analytics in high-acuity environments.
METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This report uses a number of methodologies to gather and present data and
analysis. At the outset, a large survey of secondary sources is conducted.
These sources act as the basis for the primary research stage, which builds
and enhances the quantitative and qualitative attributes of the early research.
Secondary sources include
Government sources:
Securities and Exchange Commission filings
Food and Drug Administration and patent filings
National Center for Health Statistics data
High-acuity information system (HAIS) companies:
Annual reports, product brochures, corporate profiles, etc.
Internal databases and reports:
Previous reports on similar/related sources
General Internet searches, medical literature, and newspaper/magazine
searches:
Identifying various centers of specialization and articles that might
provide leads for primary research
The secondary research stage builds the foundation for the primary research.
The primary research methodology has four steps:
Step 1: The first step involves an impartial scan of all the
information gathered during the secondary research stage to determine its
utility based on the specific requirements of this report. Each piece of
information is either discarded or marked as high- or low-priority and then
organized appropriately as determined by the structure and sectioning of the
report.
Step 2: At this stage, early assumptions are formed as to the
implications of the information for the various HAIS market segments. These
assumptions are then used to determine hypotheses using both inductive and
deductive approaches. On the quantitative front, these hypotheses result in
full historical and projected market data sets (market sizes - unit sales,
average selling prices [ASPs], and revenues - as well as market shares).
Step 3: At this stage, the research is in position for its most
important primary phase - expert interviews. Throughout the secondary research
phase, industry and medical experts are identified.
These experts are then contacted by telephone and asked to participate in
interviews on recent trends and developments in the industry. Interviews are
either conducted at the time of the initial call or scheduled at the
convenience of the expert. Interview questions are tailored to the expertise
of each particular interviewee, although in most cases, the most important
questions are asked of all experts.
The questions are largely based on the assumptions and hypotheses developed in
Step 2, which are then augmented, discarded, or adjusted based on the views
and positions put forth. Attempts are made, whenever possible, to cross-check
the views of various experts against each other and to reach positions of
consensus on issues and market numbers.
Step 4: The final stage of primary research involves individual and
group analysis by Millennium Research Group. All research results are assessed
and cross-checked thoroughly to determine their validity, relevance, and
weight. From this process, qualitative conclusions are reached and data points
finalized.
FORECAST METHODOLOGY
In addition to the research methodology outlined above, the following
“bottom-up” methodology is used to develop forecast assumptions
for the report.
A comprehensive breakdown of various HAIS unit sales and installed base is
prepared using data from several sources, including professional associations,
government statistics, and private research/media sources. Industry experts
and practitioners are consulted to ensure accuracy and verify observed trends.
As a cross-check, total industry revenues available through annual reports and
other sources are compared against modeled industry revenues.
Using the best estimates of industry experts, practitioners, private
research/media sources, and inhouse experts, year-by-year growth rates and
ASPs are applied individually to each subcategory to derive forecasts. These
estimates are cross-checked by industry experts (marketing managers, product
managers, CEOs, etc.) and further refined.
Overall findings are compared against market and procedure forecasts published
by other sources to ensure reasonable estimates.
