Abstract
This IDC Health Insights report presents an analysis of IT
spending trends and forecasts in the New Zealand healthcare industry
in 2009–2013. The report provides a breakdown of the key
areas in healthcare IT spending and the critical issues faced
by healthcare executives in 2009, as well as the factors
that will influence IT investment decisions over the next 12
months. This report also reveals the strong growth opportunities that
will occur over the forecast period, particularly for software and
IT services vendors.
"Collaboration and integration will be key themes in
the New Zealand in 2009, as healthcare providers continue to
evolve from a provider to a customer-centric approach. Healthcare will
seek IT solutions that will address its pain areas and
address the issues presented by the complex environment and ever-changing
compliance needs," says Louise Francis, senior market analyst, IDC Health
Insights, New Zealand.
Alex Kim, associate research director, IDC Health Insights,
Asia/Pacific, also states that "there is a great opportunity in
New Zealand. After leading the Executive Healthcare Provider Roundtable in
Wellington and meeting with the New Zealand Ministry of Health,
DHBs, PHOs, NGOs, and private hospital providers, everyone is ready
for a real change. With bold leadership, New Zealand can
shift towards a stronger health information exchange and build greater
consistency in data to support a national-level EHR initiative that
is both sustainable and cost effective."
IDC Health Insights also launched
the first annual Asia/Pacific eHealth Executive Survey program and the
key provider executives were questioned about their ICT plans and
priorities for the year ahead. This 2009 end-user survey was
completed in June 2009 and interviewed >280 healthcare providers in
eight Asia/Pacific countries, including New Zealand. Alex states, "Next 1–2
years, top strategic business issues for New Zealand, in order
of importance, include upgrading technology, improving service, complying with government
mandates, and expanding service portfolio."
