Top Business & IT Priorities in Healthcare

Performance Challenges in Healthcare
Resource Constraints
“Capacity challenges are affecting service availability and limiting revenue growth. More than half of hospitals are experiencing a capacity crunch in servicing a growing population with limited resources in beds, equipment and staffing.”
Financial Strains
"One third of hospitals are losing money, and another third are just breaking even.”
“Added cost pressures will come from higher expenses, unfunded capital needs, lower reimbursement rates and increased transition to diagnostic-related-group payment methods.”
Dissatisfaction in Quality of Patient Care
“More than half of patients are dissatisfied with the quality of healthcare.”
“Less than a quarter of hospitals are fully compliant with safety practices.”
“There are ~100,000 deaths a year from preventable medical errors in the US alone.”
Inefficient Clinical Operations
“Burgeoning patient waiting times with deviations across required treatments, facilities and government regulations.”

QlikView developed into a strategic tool for us and allows us, by means of data controlled company management, to be successful in the long-term despite the high pressures associated with managing costs.”
UschiSchäfer, Medicine Controlling, Marienhospital Gelsenkirchen (Germany)

When I receive a patient, I can place myself in front of the computer screens and get the information I need immediately. It’s completely fantastic. Now I have the total picture in front of me, and I don’t have to search in different databases and waste precious minutes before still guessing something in the end.”
Daniel Stålhammar - Associate Professor, Sahlgrenska University Hospital (Sweden)

times are now significantly shorter.”
Kerstin Sjöström, Clinic Manager, UMAS Eye Clinic, Region Skane (Sweden)
