2016 Research Agenda

CONVERGING GLOBAL HEALTHCARE
Healthcare has reached a tipping point: Healthcare providers typically lack the rich data to support real time
informed diagnosis across the care pathway. Others have comparatively more comprehensive data sets in place
to support co-ordinated care, yet are constrained in exploiting these through departmental and organisational
operational silos. Escalating costs, the shift in demographic profiles, heightened expectations on quality of
service, and clinical resource shortages have provoked the need for a more considered collective response to
transform healthcare.
Enterprise grade technology can already support providers and payers to resolve ‘yesterday’s problems’, yet
healthcare remains a highly risk-averse culture, geared towards assets sweating, and resistant to open peer-to-
peer collaboration. Convergence and collaboration are the new norms, across infrastructure, clinical
ecosystems, with patients, and increasingly between ICT vendors.
Hence, as providers look to navigate through healthcare information exchanges, meaningfully deploy unified
comms platforms, and exploit big data, vendors continue to fulfil a critical role, to enable them to articulate and
implement an aligned ICT investment plan.
STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY PLANNING IS NOW AN IMPERATIVE

We will provide commentary as market events unfold: M&A activity; partnerships and alliances formed;
influences from adjacent and other market sectors.
Throughout the year our team is on hand to provide regular commentary via quarterly webinars, ongoing
analyst support, and independent advisory services specific to respective vendors.
PLACING HEALTHCARE IT IN CONTEXT
All of our coverage is geared towards supporting vendors to plan ahead, while reacting to market events as
they unfold.

THE CURRENT ANALYSIS GLOBAL HEALTHCARE SERVICE
Expanding across a region or entering a new geography often imposes new ground rules for vendors: how
providers and payers seek to overcome operational challenges; how risk is interpreted; the extent to which
technology is embraced; receptiveness to collaboration. The further a vendor moves from its home territory,
the greater the need to innovate at a local level.
Current Analysis enables vendors and their partners to play to their strengths and position against the context
of transformational pace and scale by supporting:

HORIZON 2016: What’s in store for Healthcare IT
CATALYST
Current Analysis shares its views on the main technology themes that will shape the healthcare sector through
2016, impacting on provider and payer operational models, ICT investment trends, and vendor positioning
strategies.
Healthcare cloud diversification opens up new opportunities
CATALYST
With healthcare organizations working to build and share rich integrated data platforms, the
justification for the deployment of cloud computing across healthcare is mounting. Whether such
deployment translates as SaaS, IaaS, or PaaS architecture through to delivery models such as
virtual private clouds, fully public or community clouds, and in what order, can only be determined
within the clinical context. Providers continue to seek clarity and context on a migration strategy.
Health data exchange and interoperability in healthcare: meaningful use comes of age
CATALYST
The overspill from the enterprise sector of open-source, more agile software and standards offers
great potential for healthcare, at a time when the EHR is recognised as a strategic platform to
underpin interoperability, which in turn will accelerate the rate at which multi-disciplinary teams
can fulfil their operational remit.
Healthcare needs better intelligence: what's in store for analytics
CATALYST
All providers must now embed predictive elements, to support quality reporting and precision
medicine. While analytical tools are available to incorporate the 80% of unstructured healthcare
data that is collected, providers and the increasing range of data stakeholders with which they are
collaborating, are only beginning to consider how they can meaningfully mine this data to deliver
insights.
Cyber security in Healthcare: Moving to the offensive
CATALYST
Consumerization, shadow cloud deployment, and the increasing range of medical devices
connected to the Internet all facilitate collaboration, but equally expose short-comings in providers’
security strategies, while making them vulnerable to hackers intent on profiting from rich and
sensitive data.
mHealth: Bringing care to the patient
CATALYST
Connected healthcare and patient democratization have re-invigorated the business case for both
telehealth and telecare as core contributing elements of community based care and population
management.
