Dell To Make Elec­tronic Med­ical Records

By: Zacks Invest­ment Research   Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 12, 2009 3:58 PM


Dell Inc. (DELL­Stock Charts and Research Links: 16.6, 0.04) recently said it would ven­ture into the elec­tronic med­ical records sys­tem busi­ness, which is used by doc­tors and hos­pi­tals. The device helps in stor­ing med­ical records in a way that makes it easy to track the clin­i­cal his­tory of patients from any­where in the world with­out stor­ing hard copies.

We believe the time is ideal for com­pa­nies like Dell to enter this space as the fed­eral gov­ern­ment has granted around $19 bil­lion in incen­tives to med­ical prac­ti­tion­ers and hos­pi­tals. Elec­tronic record-keeping soft­ware has huge prospects as most doc­tors cur­rently use hard copies of med­ical records and the mar­ket is more or less reces­sion proof.

Only 10% of Amer­i­can health care providers have adopted a full fledged elec­tronic med­ical record sys­tem, so there is sub­stan­tial growth poten­tial in the seg­ment. Dell is plan­ning to com­bine its hard­ware with third-party soft­ware and pro­vide ser­vices such as need assess­ment, sys­tem con­fig­u­ra­tion, work­flow process draw­ing and pro­vid­ing train­ing and sup­port to med­ical prac­ti­tion­ers and hospitals.

Despite being a tech­ni­cal giant, Dell is likely to face stiff com­pe­ti­tion from big­ger play­ers like Google Inc. (GOOG­Stock Charts and Research Links: 472.14, 1.2) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT­Stock Charts and Research Links: 24.86, –0.14). These com­pa­nies have already launched per­sonal health records stor­age sys­tems to help patients store their own health data.

Thus, while this is a good busi­ness oppor­tu­nity for Dell, it has to over­come many obsta­cles to be suc­cess­ful in the field. We believe health­care pro­fes­sion­als are increas­ingly adopt­ing the con­cept of a paper­less office and rec­og­niz­ing the ben­e­fits of cost effi­cient stor­age and greater acces­si­bil­ity of med­ical records.
