Central European Health Industry Overview and IT Spending 2008-2012 Forecast

This IDC study, Health Industry Insights: Central European Health Industry Overview and IT Spending Forecast 2008-2012, provides an overview of the healthcare systems in the countries of Central Europe (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia). This study also contains results of European Commission studies on benchmarking ICT use among GPs in Europe. The information in this study is intended to provide an understanding of the changes and opportunities facing the region's ICT industry.

"IDC expects IT spending by the healthcare sector in Central Europe to increase faster than IT spending by any other vertical in the region in the 2008-2012 period. Investments in healthcare medical records, and other industry-specific applications, coupled with improved hospital IT infrastructure, will drive this growth." - Research Analyst Alberto Balduzzi, Vertical Markets, IDC CEMA
