The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration
Guest Blog: "Conducting market research for your healthcare IT app" ... The Healthcare IT Guy
Colleagues,
In the continuing quest to bring you the 3C's of "Content, Community & Collaboration", we are beginning to link to and/or feature "Guest Bloggers" producing insights we think you can use. This is the second recent blog from the excellent "Healthcare IT Guy", Shahid Shah ... Here are Shahid's recent thoughts on "Conducting market research for your healthcare IT app" ...
... Many of you out there are looking at the ARRA (stimulus) bill for ways to sell your healthcare IT wares to healthcare providers. One of the weaknesses of most tech-focused companies is that don’t spend enough time on market research to figure out where to sell their products. That’s primarily because it’s not always easy to get useful statistics so here’s a little advice I give to my startups when they ask “where do I find out how many doctors there are in the country?”.
Check out the following sites:
* Kaiser’s StateHealthFacts.org
* Bureau of Labor Statistics Healthcare Industry Guide
* CMS’s Research, Statistics, Data & Systems Guide
* CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics
Kaiser’s site is a very nice site to start with — it provides all kinds of health statistics but you might be very interested in the Providers & Service Use statistics which contains details like the following:
Total Hospitals
Hospitals by Ownership
Beds by Ownership
Admissions by Ownership
Emergency Room Visits by Ownership
Inpatient Days by Ownership
Outpatient Visits by Ownership
Hospital Trends
Medical Errors
Number of Nursing Home Residents
Nursing Home Occupancy Rates
Top Ten Nursing Home Deficiencies
Total Rural Health Clinics
Federally Qualified Health Centers
Physicians
Total Nonfederal Physicians
Health Professional Shortage Areas
Access to Care
Could Not See Doctor Because of Cost
Medical School Graduates
Medical Malpractice
Non-Physician Providers
Total Registered Nurses
Physician Assistants per 100,000 Pop.
Total Dentists
Dentists per 1,000 Population
