Patient accounting systems: buying substantial, but declining.
Hospitals are not replacing their patient accounting systems in the volume they once did during 1987 and 1988, and the greatest decline in patient accounting software purchases has occurred among large hospitals, according to analysts at Sheldon Dorenfest & Associates, a Chicago-based consulting firm. Despite the maturity of the patient accounting software marketplace, those software vendors who can develop products that recognize the changing hospital environment will emerge over the next five years.
