Amidst major policy reforms, industry luminaries and a focus group of everyday people are optimistic that technology can substantially reduce costs and improve patient care.
Westford, MA (PRWEB) November 24, 2009 -- Trender Research™ Inc. (www.trenderresearch.com), a market research and consulting firm that combines expert analysis with the voice of everyday people, announced a new Trender Thought Leaders report for the healthcare industry. The report, entitled “Impact! When Healthcare and Technology Collide”, analyzes major healthcare tr and specifically how technology is spurring a major transformation in the way healthcare organizations are managed and patient care is delivered. The report is invaluable for policy-makers, healthcare professionals, researchers, technology vendors, and investors trying to understand the challenges and opportunities in healthcare.
The 42-page report reflects the macro tr of the healthcare industry through the eyes of thought leaders deeply involved in the field. It also includes the input of a Trender Panel of diverse Americans (and one Canadian) whose perspectives keep the report’s analysis grounded in the lives of average citizens. Among the major conclusions is that the industry is undergoing a sharp disruption spurred by soaring costs, government funding and policy making, as well as advancements in technology including information automation, new medical devices, and the increasing role of digital communications.
“The adoption of new technologies in health care is at a turning point in America,” said Trender Research Senior Analyst Joyce Pellino Crane. “But the political, financial and social issues are so complex and intertwined that this teetering transformation is still struggling to hit its stride. The stakes are very high as all parties are looking to technology as a means to corral soaring costs and improve the quality of care.”

When Healthcare and Technology Collide” provides expert analysis of current events and predicts the major tr.
