Soaring Significance Of Health Information Management Is Expected To Boost The Demand Of Healthcare Information Technology:

Persons associated with healthcare worldwide obtain and produce a considerable quantity of personal health information regarding patients. The scope of health information is inclusive of not only personal information and private health data but also related payment forms and transactions. Clinical notes, pharmacy, and outpatient care records are also included under health information. As technology is progressing, it has enormously amplified the possibility for trustworthiness, speed, effectiveness, and application of medical records. However, this has also raised the capability for information to be mis-utilized, sold, and accessed without the approval of an individual. With surging technological progress, it has become vital to define healthcare information management. As per American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), “Health Information Management (HIM) is the practice of acquiring, analyzing, and protecting digital and traditional medical information vital to providing quality patient care.” Teaming with this association, numerous laws were passed to back patient rights and practices including Health Information Management. With increasing attempted healthcare breaches, health information management assumes a critical role to prevent these attempted breaches from being successful. The proliferating significance of health information management is therefore driving the growth of the Healthcare Information Technology Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Healthcare Information Technology Market Challenges

Interoperability Presents Challenges To The Growth Of The Healthcare Information Technology Market:

The unique selling point (USP) of electronic health records (EHRs) is that they permit health specialists to access appropriate patient data instantaneously. About 95% of hospitals utilize electronic health records, indicating that the acceptance of this technology is almost complete.  However, interoperability presently is demanding. Interoperability, in reality, is clutter. Patient identification is not standardized. This frequently makes it very difficult to match people with their records. Almost anybody can enter information into the electronic health record of a person. However, drawing data is not always feasible. Averting interoperability issues will need industry-wide alterations. Cloud-based electronic health records have been considered as one solution which centralizes the database while still offering essential safety. The issue of interoperability is thus hampering the growth of the Healthcare Information Technology Market.
