The burgeoning requirement for advanced healthcare information systems, soaring investments being made by HIT players, the rising demand for remote patient monitoring services, and the ballooning support from various government agencies and organizations are the main factors driving the expansion of the global clinical decision support system (CDSS) market. According to the estimates of P&S Intelligence, a market research firm based in India, the market would grow exponentially in the coming years.
CDSSs are basically computer-based information systems that are built for helping healthcare providers implement clinical guidelines at the point of care. These systems use patient data and information for providing evidence-based medical treatment recommendations to healthcare practitioners, which helps them deliver better patient care and clinical outcomes. CDSSs are usually incorporated in electronic health records (EHRs) and integrated with several other computer-based functions that provide feedback on different quality indicators and patient care summary reports.
This would be because of the presence of well-developed healthcare facilities and infrastructure, growing healthcare spending, surging geriatric population, and the increasing incidence of lifestyle-associated and chronic diseases in the region. In addition to these factors, the growing public awareness about the advanced and innovative applications of CDSSs are also propelling the expansion of the market in this region. Apart from North America, the market is also registering huge expansion in Europe.
