During 2005, the health care industry will continue to deal with recurring issues – including financial pressure on profit margins, limited access to capital, increased competition, rising medical costs and a growing number of uninsured. What is new is the extent to which health providers and payers are likely to respond to these and other challenges by using information technology, particularly to support data-driven clinical care. Specifically, health organizations will use technology to improve patient safety through evidence-based medicine programs, control costs through disease management programs, develop new measurement tools to facilitate pay-for-performance compensation models and create consumer directed health products.

This forecast of health care’s top issues in 2005 draws on the collective experience of Capgemini’s clinicians and other experts in health care IT, strategic planning, revenue management and supply chain to help providers and payers prepare for the coming year.
