Market Dynamics

Market Growth Drivers Analysis

A medical error is a nightmare scenario that no physician or medical practice wants to face. While most healthcare professionals and many consumers/clients/patients realize that doctors are human beings and sometimes make mistakes, most take measures to ensure accuracy in all aspects of a patient care scenario. Yet, unfortunately, thousands of people do experience some form of medical errors and even preventable deaths on an annual basis. Todays EHR systems support automated artificial intelligence, sometimes sifting through massive patient care files. For example, not long ago, a patient with a chronic condition might have a paper record composed of hundreds of pages. Today, an EHR system can quickly sift through data to analyze current and past prescriptions, laboratory tests, treatment plans, diagnoses, medical procedures, and even foods that a patient should stay away from when taking certain medications before or following medical treatment or procedure.

Market Restraints

Medical errors are not implied to be caused by the lack of concern, inattentiveness, or outright misconduct on the part of physicians, but rather the often-confusing lack of communication and access to complete medical records and histories. The development of electronic health record/electronic medical record technologies can serve to reduce medical errors through more coordinated care enhanced by data sharing and immediate accessibility by any member of a patients health care team.
