MARKET DRIVERS

Rising Patient Data and Digital Transformation Fuel North America Healthcare IT Consulting Market

The growing volume of patient data information increased technological knowledge, and the demand for quick and efficient healthcare processes and systems drive the market for HCIT solutions. Healthcare has undergone a drastic change in recent years as it no longer serves the growing patient population. In the United States, after implementing the Affordable Care Act, more than millions of Americans were insured. In addition to adding new revenue to healthcare providers, this has increased the pressure to serve traditional business models effectively.

More and more healthcare providers are ready to invest in digital transformations of their business practices. This resulted in the new IT Health Consulting division. Third-party IT consulting services include electronic health records, healthcare financing, pharmacy, billing, patient care and prescribing, etc. Strong IT support with agile methods is a competitive advantage for healthcare providers to achieve better quality, control costs, increase profitability, and simplify inventory management. As a result, there is an increase in opportunities for the IT healthcare consulting market.

The development of electronic medical records (EMRs) and their implementation in the healthcare industry is a major transformation in healthcare. IT consulting support has a key role to play in maintaining and securing patient data. However, health care records are among the most prone to theft, as the value of medical information goes beyond credit card information. Growing cyberattacks in healthcare are due to a violation of the HIPAA privacy rule and inadequate data encryption to protect data.

With growing concerns about the risk of unauthorized access or use of healthcare databases, healthcare consulting companies are under pressure as they need to establish sufficient trust in healthcare providers. Other factors, such as increased government support for healthcare IT solutions, changing technology landscape, and government policies and regulations, drive the healthcare IT consulting market.
