Millennium Research Group (MRG), a global authority on medical technology market intelligence recently conducted a thorough and detailed analysis of the acute care clinical information systems (CIS) market and found that a key driver in the United States is the demand for improved patient safety. The number of medical malpractice incidents were alarmingly high.

Medical errors are the fifth-leading cause of deaths in the US, with up to 98,000 deaths annually. According to the new report entitled US Markets for Acute Care Clinical Information Systems, hospitals are adopting CIS to help them provide adequate, timely care and reduce the frequency of preventable errors.
