Much of what we talk about here is new investments and new companies in healthcare IT. Much of the future of healthcare is built around these investments. SoCal HIMSS recently shared a great image that broke out the healthcare IT investment environment into 9 sectors:

Here are the 9 healthcare IT investment sectors mentioned:
- ACO Tools
- ACO-Oriented RCM
- Employer Wellness
- Benefits Management
- Health Consumers
- Patient Engagement
- Big Data
- PM & EMR
- Remote Care
I always love seeing healthcare IT opportunities broken down into sectors like this. No doubt, we could all think of a company we could start in pretty much every sector. Although, certainly some are more saturated than others (see PM & EMR for example).
Are there any other sectors of healthcare IT investment that you don’t think are included in the sectors listed above?
