Increasing integration of Healthcare IT System to Foster the Growth of the Medical Computer Cart Market

 

Medical computer carts provide total instrumentation flexibility, high-speed data transfer rates, and complete instrumentation compatibility with other brands and applications. Medical computer carts help medical professionals manage their workflow while reducing training costs, reducing operating costs, and simplifying patient care. A medical computer cart solution can be implemented at any level of the healthcare operation and is designed to seamlessly coordinate with existing medical office software systems. The carts are available for use in most medical facilities including rehabilitation clinics, doctor offices, and surgical centers, as well as pharmacies and hospital outpatient departments.

Increasing use of medical carts across a wide range of applications such as medical recording, training, charting, nursing education, and medicine dispensing is predominantly fueling the growth of the medical computer cart market. Growing global healthcare spending by the government is again fueling the growth of the market. According to the World Health Organization, global spending on health continues to rise. It was US$ 7.8 trillion in 2017 or about 10% of GDP and $1,080 per capita – up from US$ 7.6 trillion in 2016. Moreover, the growing incidence of musculoskeletal injury (MSI) coupled with the increasing adoption of electronic medical records (EMR) is further anticipated to propel the growth of the medical computer cart market.

From the geographical point of view, North America is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the presence of a well-established healthcare sector and the availability of integrated healthcare IT systems. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 85.9% of office-based physicians are using any EMR/EHR system and 79.7% of office-based physicians have a certified EMR/EHR system.
