Market Dynamics
Driver
Low cost associated with home healthcare to drive the growth of the home healthcare market
Home healthcare services are relatively cheaper when compared to hospitalization or institutional care as they minimize the use of emergency rooms and hospital admissions. Home care is very flexible and can be tailored according to a patient’s needs, resulting in enhanced health outcomes and patient satisfaction. Many studies demonstrate that home healthcare is efficient and saves millions of dollars each year. Home care managed by skilled health practitioners enhances the patient’s health status and prevents them from visiting the emergency department, in-patient facilities, and/or outpatient clinics. In addition, home healthcare is more cost-effective within the Medicare system than other forms of institutional care.
Restraint
Lack of skilled professionals hindering the market growth
Home healthcare facilities encounter staffing challenges. The shortage of skilled nurses in underdeveloped countries makes it difficult for people suffering from multiple health conditions to access and leverage nursing services. This may lead to severe health conditions and lifetime disability. Thus, it is advisable to build a large database of potential candidates and incorporate it into the recruitment process to alleviate difficulties with recruitment planning.
Opportunity
Technological advancements offer opportunities in the home healthcare market
Advanced technologies, such as sophisticated electronic health records, have transformed home health care by streamlining patient information and enhancing diagnosis accuracy and treatment efficacy. In addition to this, they have improved data security and patient privacy by putting in place measures such as encryption and access control. There is significant growth in incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning in the home healthcare system, enabling proactive healthcare practices and detecting patterns and crises. Likewise, machine learning is also highly used to personalize care plans and improve the quality of treatments.
