The market for anesthesia information systems is predicted to increase 50% by 2012 and be valued at $4 billion by 2017. According to a new report by iData Research (www.idataresearch.net), the leading global authority in medical device market research, the U.S. anesthesia, respiratory and sleep-management device market will reach approximately $4 billion by 2017, with strong growth being driven by anesthesia information management system (AIMS) sales. This report is accompanied by two companion reports, "Electronic Medical Records" and "Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS)", which forecast rapid adoption of medical information technology due to approaching deadlines set out by the U.S. government's Healthcare Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.

If one represented an EMR, EHR or HIS vendor who was interested in developing for the future, it seems they would be particularly interested in Lexicomp's anesthesiology and critical care database.
Also, for those EMR companies developing Home Healthcare and Behavior Health applications, it seems like Lexicomp's recent addition of webservices as an option for transferring drug information and drug data, it would be particularly helpful.
