The future development trend of China's medical industry informatization market

In terms of investment structure, it is anticipated that the share of IT hardware spending will continue to decrease over the next five years, while investments in software and services are expected to grow steadily. This shift reflects a broader trend toward more sophisticated and integrated IT solutions in various sectors, including healthcare. Looking ahead, the Chinese medical information market is expected to experience several key developments over the next five years: 1. **Increased competition from more manufacturers**: The Chinese medical IT market has evolved through three distinct phases since its inception in 1993. Initially, many independent software vendors (ISVs) focused on Hospital Information Systems (HIS). In the second phase, price wars and immature markets led to the decline of many ISVs. The third stage saw the entry of foreign companies. As the market grows rapidly, more players—both international and domestic—are entering. Companies like IBM, Oracle, and Cisco have established dedicated healthcare divisions, while local firms such as Fang Zheng have acquired top ISVs, signaling a more competitive landscape. 2. **Expansion of IT applications**: The dominance of HIS is gradually being challenged by emerging systems such as PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), USIS (Ultrasound Information System), PIS (Pathology Information System), CMS (Cost Management System), and PEIS (Medical Examination Information System). Future developments will focus on electronic medical records, community health management, and broader health data integration. These systems will follow a three-step evolution: first, billing and clinical systems; second, structured electronic medical records; and third, workflow engines and SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) for greater flexibility and process reconfiguration. 3. **Integration of products and services**: Many ISVs are shifting their focus toward integrating products with services to improve profitability and align with local market needs. While services are not yet the primary revenue source, they are becoming increasingly important in differentiating companies and meeting complex user demands. 4. **Consolidation among providers**: Early ISVs are expanding through strategic investments and acquisitions, aiming to integrate smaller regional ISVs and strengthen their market position. This consolidation will help them compete more effectively against both domestic and international players. 5. **Integration of the industrial chain**: As technology becomes less of a differentiator, integrated applications will become central to competition. Collaborations with advanced manufacturers and platform-based development will enable domestic companies to stay at the forefront of global medical IT innovation. 6. **Rationalization of user needs**: As the market matures, users are becoming more rational in their IT purchasing decisions. They now prioritize functionality, efficiency, and long-term value over impulse or brand-driven choices. 7. **Outsourcing and cross-enterprise integration**: Medical IT outsourcing is gaining traction, inspired by global practices. This approach can streamline IT resource management and enhance system integration. For instance, telemedicine initiatives may involve governments, hospitals, research institutions, telecom providers, and IT service companies working together to deliver more efficient healthcare services. 8. **Rapid growth in public health informatization**: Since 2003, public health IT adoption has accelerated. By 2007, this trend is expected to intensify further, with nationwide efforts to build integrated health information platforms. 9. **Growing demand for regional medical integration**: With the launch of the “Regional Collaborative Medical Services Demonstration Project,” there is a clear push for shared resources, cost-effective, and low-risk healthcare delivery models. Regional medical information integration will play a critical role in improving patient referrals between community clinics and large hospitals. Overall, the Chinese medical information market is evolving rapidly, driven by increased competition, technological advancement, and a growing emphasis on integration and efficiency. These trends will shape the future of healthcare IT in the country.
