Recent Trends and Developments in the Market
-
Amazon Web Services (AWS) consists of a cloud based platform which allows healthcare and other life science organizations to manage effective data-driven decision making, patient health improvement, development of new therapies and other such services with the help of various analytical tools and advanced machine learning.
-
IBM Cloud is another HIPAA enabled cloud solution for the healthcare industry that is a reliable platform for secure storage of data. It offers both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS).
Introduction to Cloud-Computing in Healthcare
Cloud computing is used for managing and storing information online through hardware and software systems. It uses the latest technology in order to make data easily accessible by healthcare services providers. Along with this, keeping everything on cloud based systems prevents leakage of data to some extent. Using cloud technology is highly cost effective as it decreases the infrastructure expenses. Moreover, the information about one patient can be shared by different healthcare services providers through cloud computing technologies and can be accessed by them much faster as compared with other methods. It is a reliable source of storage of information as it prevents any form of data loss.
Market Size and Forecast
Cloud computing is used in the healthcare industry for a number of clinical and non-clinical systems. The clinical systems include storing of patient data in the form of electronic health record (EHR), health and pharmacy information systems and picture archiving & communication system (PACS) among several other systems. On the other hand, the non-clinical systems include management systems including supply chain management, revenue cycle management and other billing and accounting systems. The cloud-computing in healthcare market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 16% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027.
The market is segmented by application, by deployment, by service, by end user and by region, out of which, the end user segment is further segmented into hospitals, pharmacies, ambulatory centers, clinics and others. On the basis of end user, the hospitals segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the cloud-computing in healthcare market on account of increasing number of patients in hospitals which can be further attributed to the growing prevalence of chronic health disorders among them.
According to a report published by the American Hospital Association in 2019, there are around 6,210 hospitals in the United States and the number is anticipated to further rise. The large number of patients facilitates the requirement of efficient information management and storage systems that would enable easy access and sharing of patient data.
