Population Health Management Market Growth & Trends

The global population health management market size is expected to reach USD 280.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 21.9% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The need for population health services that combine multiple functionalities is increasing due to the complex nature of care delivery and payment models. Population Health Management (PHM) solutions can process clinical, financial, and operational data that help improve efficiency and patient care. The health management program is also witnessing changes in medical reimbursement due to the increasing emphasis on value-based payment models and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the need for social distance among physicians and other healthcare workers, driving the need for population health management solutions and the correct and timely transmission of patient health information and claims data for patients with chronic diseases. PHM provides effective tools in this regard, including a framework for the secure transmission, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information and claims data. For clinical and financial decision-making, these technologies enable the smooth transmission and analysis of health-related data between healthcare institutions and patients.

Furthermore, as patient numbers increase, so does the requirement for electronic medical records and electronic health record solutions to manage complicated patient data. Players in this market have also connected the electronic health record platforms with other IT solutions such as population health management and enhanced their software solutions to assist healthcare practitioners in efficiently managing COVID-19 patients. The convenience offered by value-based payment models is responsible for the increased adoption of population health solutions by ACOs.

ACOs, consisting of hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers, collaborate with the payers (private and public) to provide high-quality care to the patients. Private and public insurance providers have introduced various disease management programs that help in the treatment of chronic illnesses. These multidisciplinary efforts are expected to result in efficient treatment outcomes and are likely to suggest the best suitable courses of action that need to be undertaken. Successful large-scale trials in the U.S. have enabled significant advancements in disease management programs.

Most healthcare providers worldwide have insufficient infrastructure, including health professionals, patients’ data, technology, and other resources to manage healthcare issues. To manage a large population, suppliers must invest considerably in infrastructure development. The government's expanded monitoring support for healthcare IT systems, as well as the rising use of big data analytics and the need to contain expanding healthcare costs, would all fuel the expansion of the population health management industry.
