  7. DRIVING FORCES (1) • QUEST FOR QUALITY AND COST MANAGEMENT • RISING DEMAND FOR ADVANCED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY • SHORT PRODUCT LIFE CYCLES / OBSOLESCENCE • DISSATISFACTION WITH HEALTH SYSTEM (CHOICE, ACCESS, QUALITY) • DISREGARD FOR “CUSTOMER SERVICE” • CONVENIENCE MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE

  8. DRIVING FORCES (2) • CAPTURING LONG-TERM SERVICE RELANTIONSHIPS • INEFFICIENCY OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES (ELIGIBILITY,CLAIMS, REIMBURSEMENT, PROCUREMENT AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT) • INCREASED DEMAND FOR DATA AND INFORMATION (DISTRIBUTED MULTIDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE, IMPROVED DOCUMENTATION) • LOGISTICS OF HEALTHCARE (DYNAMIC SCHEDULING, DATA COMMUNICATION) • ACCESS TO BIOMEDICAL KNOWLEDGE (REFERENCE, PROTOCOLS OF CARE, REGISTRIES, KNOWLEDGE BASES, EVIDEDENCE-BASED PRACTICE, CONSUMER PARTICIPATION)
