Population Health Management Market Growth Factors

Increasing Demand for Value-based Care Among Patient Population to Boost Product Adoption

The rising prevalence of chronic conditions among the global population, along with growing awareness regarding digital health solutions, is increasing the demand for value-based care approaches among the patient population.

The benefits of Population Health Management (PHM) solutions, including streamlined tracking & care management, lower healthcare costs for organizations, and others, among healthcare facilities, are leading to mergers and acquisitions among market players to introduce innovative solutions to cater to the rising product demand.

The advantages associated with big data and digital tools can transform the healthcare industry. However, several countries, especially emerging countries, such as India, Brazil, and Nigeria, among others, are facing challenges in the adoption of these solutions owing to a lack of technical knowledge among the skilled force, breaches of data security, and privacy issues.

The increasing access to patient data and rising use of technology are resulting in growing exposure of healthcare facilities to more cyberattacks and data breaches.

• According to a 2021 article published by the NCBI, a survey conducted among 250 healthcare researchers demonstrated that only 41% of the survey respondents were using a PHM solution.

These factors, coupled with uncertainty around the regulatory pathways for digital health tools and solutions, such as PHM, EHR, and others, are expected to hamper the adoption of these tools and solutions among healthcare providers, consequently hampering population health management market growth.
