Industry Challenges
Healthcare industry is the world's largest industry with total revenues of approx US$ 3.5 Trillion The healthcare providers’ sector is amongst the world's most advanced sector scientifically and technologically. The segment is undergoing major changes, with Information Technology at the center of the change, enabling significant information-access improvements. The segment, however, finds itself under heavy force today, as healthcare providers grapple with complex challenges that threaten to erode their profitability. The major challenges that a healthcare provider faces today are:
 
Technological Challenges
A hospital is essentially a union of a lot of individual businesses, each driven by different incentives. Each one has different cost parameters to deal with and different processes for delivering the services in its area of expertise. And yet, each one is very tightly interwoven into the overall fabric of the larger enterprise.
Disparate legacy systems and outdated infrastructure inhibits business agility in reacting to current challenges owning
Stringent and constantly changing regulatory compliance needs (HIPAA, HIE, NABH, etc) are further increasing the cost of these legacy systems
 
Clinical Challenges
An aging population and an irregular supply of financing from the working population
A growing population without health insurance coverage and concerns over patient safety
Inefficiency and lack of quality
Stakeholders seeking quality and costs reduction
Care coordination across multiple venues
Clinical capacity and labor shortage
Providers seeking efficiency through clinical automation
 
Administrative Challenges
Rising care and medication cost
The scarcity of primary care physicians (PCPs)
Improper flow of information within departments, reduces productivity
Unnecessary duplication of work due to poor data management
High overheads: About 25% of total healthcare spending is estimated to be on administrative overheads (excessive healthcare bureaucracy)
Consumers using IT to help with increased responsibilities
