Essentials Brief - 2016 Clinical & Business Intelligence Study
Published May 25, 2016

HIMSS Analytics® has released its 2016 Clinical & Business Intelligence (C&BI) Essentials Brief, a study snapshot on the U.S. hospital analytics market.

As the emphasis of healthcare changes from volume to value-based care, the use of analytical solutions will be necessary to support clinical, financial and operational decision making.  However, market adoption has been modest to date and plans to make future investments in clinical and business intelligence solutions are uncertain.

Purchase this study to:

  • Access current C&BI solution adoption rates and plans to purchase
  • Understand vendor market share and mind share
  • Get snapshot statistics for C&BI solutions across the entire US hospital landscape

Highlights of the study include:

  • Current and future adoption of clinical and business intelligence solutions
  • Vendor market share, mind share and market opportunity in the clinical and business intelligence solution category
  • Study respondents currently with a clinical and business intelligence solution revealed limited tactical or inconsistent/uncoordinated efforts toward data governance within their organization.
  • More study respondents with a C&BI solution utilize embedded tools within their EHR/HIS versus a best-of-breed or self-developed solution for their analytical needs.
  • Based upon the HIMSS Analytics Adoption Model for Analytics Maturity (AMAM), respondents self-qualified as having a relatively low level of organizational analytics maturity
  • Uncertainty around plans to purchase a C&BI solution remains high as organizations rely upon current tools to make clinical and business decisions and focus on upgrading other clinical areas.
