Population Health Management Market Trends:

Favorable Government Policies

The launch of numerous initiatives by regulatory bodies to help healthcare providers integrate population health management software, as it improves patient outcomes and reduces overall healthcare expenditures, is propelling the market. For example, in July 2022, the UK Parliament passed the Health and Care Bill to grant legal responsibilities to integrated care systems (ICSs). Additionally, government bodies in the U.S. implemented the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to prevent chronic diseases and promote the adoption of healthcare IT solutions. Besides this, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) creates opportunities for population health management service providers to collect and maintain data for patients. Moreover, public and private medical organizations are focusing on digitizing the collection and processing of health-related information, which is also bolstering the population health management market demand. For instance, in February 2024, UNICEF handed over 40 computers funded by the Government of Canada to the Ministry of Health and Population in the Central African Republic to improve the management of vaccine and medicine stocks across the country. In addition to this, in May 2024, Lichfield District Council, a local government district in Staffordshire, England, collaborated with Impera Analytics Ltd, one of the data analytics companies in the UK, to enhance the wellbeing of the community by sharing anonymized NHS health data. These above-mentioned initiatives mark a significant advancement in public health management, which is anticipated to drive the market over the forecasted period.

Rising Healthcare IT Solutions

The increasing inclination among individuals towards value-based reimbursement structures and accountable care is acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the escalating demand for better-personalized medicine is offering significant potential prospects for market players. Moreover, healthcare IT solutions help PHM providers in collecting data and enabling insurers to get the most out of their healthcare expenditures. This, in turn, represents one of the population health management market's recent opportunities. According to the findings from a survey of CIOs and IT executives, 92% of healthcare IT leaders said that their organizations are placing a high priority on data integration planning. Additionally, owing to the elevating penetration of smartphones, the rising popularity of mHealth applications for improved chronic disease management is further bolstering the market. As per a Mass Media Data report, around 5.31 billion individuals were using mobile phones at the beginning of 2022. Besides this, the inflating focus among key players on digitizing healthcare services for providing enhanced population health management is also strengthening the market. For example, in September 2021, the Prime Minister of India introduced the Pradhan Mantri Digital Health Mission to establish an accessible and secure digital healthcare system across the country, enabling individuals to access, store, and authorize the sharing of their health records. Furthermore, numerous mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities among industry players are elevating the population health management market's recent price. For instance, in March 2023, Osigu acquired Servinte, one of the largest electronic health records (EHRs) and healthcare software providers in Columbia, Mexico, to enhance Servinte's capabilities through the integration of cutting-edge technologies.

Several Technological Innovations

The introduction of big data technologies and advanced analytics platforms that enable healthcare organizations to analyze and process vast amounts of data from various sources, including insurance claims, electronic health records (EHRs), patient-generated data, etc., is catalyzing the market. By leveraging this data, healthcare providers can predict health trends, identify at-risk individuals, customize treatment plans to address specific community health needs effectively, etc. This, in turn, is positively influencing the population health management market outlook. For example, in April 2024, Pine Park Health, one of the fast-growing primary care companies currently serving residents of senior living communities in Arizona, California, and Nevada, adopted Innovaccer’s leading healthcare AI platform to optimize population health analytics. Apart from this, the increasing integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with PHM systems is also fueling the global market. For instance, in March 2024, Reperio Health, the only provider of onsite and at-home comprehensive health screenings with instant results, partnered with Applied Health Analytics to provide medical insights to healthcare professionals. Additionally, in February 2024, Persistent Systems, one of the global digital engineering and enterprise modernization leaders, launched an innovative Generative AI-powered population health management (PHM) solution in collaboration with Microsoft. The solution identifies Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) to determine the non-clinical needs of patients.
