New IT Opportunities in UK Healthcare
Radical changes are taking place in the NHS market for IT. The Treasury-sponsored Wanless Report identified the need for massive extra funding to kick start NHS modernisation. The National Programme for IT (NPfIT) awarded contracts of almost this amount to six large-scale IT service vendors for provision of:
- National infrastructure services and shared applications
- Local solutions for Hospitals and General Practitioners
But now emphasis is shifting towards local solutions to achieve improvements in efficiency and outcomes of clinical processes. As a result, we have seen a seismic repositioning of existing and new IT suppliers to the NHS in England - with significant impact on the rest of UK and Ireland.
Those who simply ‘wait and see’ are likely to suffer progressive market share erosion, while more aggressive and proactive players seek out new opportunities in the midst of structural market change.
This immediately throws up some crucial strategic questions for suppliers of IT systems and services:
- What is the scope for existing products?
- What are the future prospects for new entrants ?
- How relevant are UK developments internationally?
Although only in its early stages, it is already clear that the winners in this period of unprecedented change will be those with a clear view of the future and a clear marketing strategy to match. Understanding the UK Market for Healthcare IT is designed to help you achieve these.
