OREM, UT, September 21, 2010 (Press-News.org) Healthcare technology research firm KLAS today announced its eighth annual clinical market share report, which details the wins and losses of acute care electronic medical record (EMR) vendors at large hospitals with more than 200 beds.
The KLAS report, "CIS Purchase Decisions: Riding the ARRA Wave", reflects data collected from more than 1,600 hospitals with more than 200 beds in the United States and Canada. During the challenging economy in 2008 EMR sales reached a seven-year low, but purchases nearly doubled in 2009 reflecting the increased attention EMR systems have received since the stimulus announcement.
"Changes in the CIS market place as a result of ARRA seem to have blindsided some vendors and left them struggling to stay afloat in the large hospital market," stated report author Jason Hess. "In 2009 Eclipsys, GE, McKesson Horizon, and QuadraMed all lost more hospitals than they gained; they are struggling to regain lost ground."
Three prominent provider concerns emerged in the research regarding CIS decisions: integration, clinical adoption and reliability. Organizations not only want a truly integrated system that clinicians will actually use; they want a vendor that can be a consistent and reliable partner in their efforts to reach meaningful use. Hess continued, "Nearly 70 percent of the new 2009 hospital purchases in the report are an Epic or a Cerner integrated solution."
Although they did not realize the same increases as Epic and Cerner, MEDITECH and Siemens both saw limited growth of their currently marketed solutions. MEDITECH users share concerns that MAGIC and early C/S platforms do not provide the features and functionality needed to meet meaningful use requirements and that there may not be enough time available for MEDITECH clients to implement C/S v.6 and meet the coming deadlines. Siemens Soarian growth continues slowly, but Siemen's overall footprint in the market is shrinking as providers replace the legacy solution Invision with another system.
Recent and pending changes in the market segment may shift the EMR purchase pendulum. McKesson's Paragon product was originally developed for a community hospital environment, but sold to more large hospitals in 2009 than its Horizon solution did. The recent Eclipsys acquisition of Allscripts may be a catalyst that will affect the product offering and its success. Some providers are looking forward with cautious optimism to GE's release of Quilibria, the result of collaboration with Intermountain Healthcare, even with GE's customer satisfaction rating decreasing by five points in 2009.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – A new study shows that aspirin, given intravenously (IV), may be a safe and effective option for people hospitalized for severe headache or migraine, undergoing medication withdrawal. The research will be published in the September 21, 2010, issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Study examines HIV treatment response in men and women, finds overall similarities
2010-09-21
A new landmark study, which demonstrated it is possible to recruit large numbers of women into a clinical trial evaluating treatments for HIV infection, found no significant gender-based differences in response to the anti-HIV drugs darunavir and ritonavir — at least among those who remained in the trial to the end.
However, women dropped out of the GRACE (Gender, Race and Clinical Experience) study at higher rates than men for reasons other than drug failure, indicating that more must be done to retain women in clinical trials that shed important light on the effectiveness ...
Learning from lizards
2010-09-21
EVANSTON, Ill. --- Geckos are masters at sticking to surfaces of all kinds and easily unsticking themselves, too. Inspired by these lizards, a team of engineers has developed a reversible adhesion method for printing electronics on a variety of tricky surfaces such as clothes, plastic and leather.
Researchers from Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign designed a clever square polymer stamp that allows them to vary its adhesion strength. The stamp can easily pick up an array of electronic devices from a silicon surface and move and ...
