Population Health Management (PHM) Market Size and Share
global population health management (PHM) market size is projected to reach USD 91.43 billion by 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 19.9% during the forecast period. Surging demand for quick access to patient records during the COVID-19 pandemic will be a crucial growth-driver for this market, states Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Population Health Management (PHM) Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Component (Software, and Services), By Platform (Cloud-based, and On-premise), By End User (Healthcare Providers, Healthcare Payers, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2019-2026”. The COVID-19 outbreak has created a global health and economic crisis of unparalleled proportions.
To effectively confront this challenge,
healthcare professionals are requiring efficient access and retrieval of
patient records to provide the optimum care and medication to coronavirus and
other patients. In response, many public and private bodies are working out
solutions to meet this demand. For example, the North Dakota Health Information
Network, in April 2020, created longitudinal health records of patients to
understand their conditions and accelerate diagnoses across the state. Similarly,
in March 2020, Chicago-based Medical Home Network began using an Artificial
Intelligence (AI) solution to identify individuals at a heightened risk of
suffering from severe effects of COVID-19. In sum, the coronavirus pandemic is
likely to stoke the adoption of population health management systems and fuel
the market growth.
The report states that the market value stood at USD 21.40 billion in
2018 and offers the following:
·
Exhaustive analysis of the market drivers, trends, and hindrances;
·
Comprehensive assessment of all the possible PHM
market segments;

Market Restraint
Rising Frequency of Cyber-Attacks on Healthcare
Systems to Impede Market Growth
The population
health management market growth is expected to get negatively affected by
the increasing rate at which cyber-attacks are being conducted on healthcare
systems around the world. For instance, in May 2019, the US Security and
Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed that American Medical Collection Agency
(AMCA), the billing services provider, faced a series of hacking attacks
between August 2018 and March 2019, triggering a plethora of investigations and
lawsuits against healthcare IT companies across the country. In April 2019, a
month before AMCA’s revelation, the insurance company Dominion National
declared a 9-year hack on its systems, breaching the data of around 2.96
million patients. With majority of patient data going online, these attacks are
inevitable and are likely to spike during the COVID-19 crisis, which is
exerting unprecedented pressure on healthcare systems worldwide.
