(PharmaNewsWire.Com, January 09, 2021 ) Health information exchange (HIE) involves the electronic movement of health-related information among organizations according to nationally recognized standards. HIE aims to facilitate the access and retrieval of clinical data to provide safer, timelier, efficient, effective, equitable, patient-centered care. It enables collaboration between healthcare stakeholders, reduces administrative tasks, and provides greater transparency in the healthcare field.
Major Growth Drivers:
Growth in the global market is mainly driven by federal mandates like Meaningful use, growing patient-centric approach in healthcare delivery, increasing EHR adoption rate, and need to curtail healthcare cost.
Expected Revenue Growth:
The health information exchange market is projected to reach USD 1,545.0 Million by 2020 from USD 990.6 Million in 2015, at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period.
Accessories to Fuel the Growth of Health Information Exchange Market :
The health information exchange market has been segmented, on the basis of type, into directed exchange, query-based exchange, and consumer-mediated exchange. The directed exchange segment accounted for the largest share of the global market in 2015. Directed exchange supports point-to-point transactions and transmits documents to physicians’ EHR; this is contributing to the large share of this segment.
Over the years, web portals have been used in healthcare organizations to schedule appointments, register patients, and send secure email to providers. They are also used to provide laboratory results, refill prescription requests, and maintain personal health records. According to Stage 2 of Meaningful Use, patients should have access to view and download electronic copies of their own medical records. Web portals help in retrieving patient information, in an easier and efficient manner as compared to obta ining health records manually.
Workflow management
HIEs and EHRs help healthcare professionals in health management and enable better decision-making for enhanced patient care. HIEs also facilitate reduction in duplicative treatment, thus avoiding additional expenses.
Secure messaging
Secure messaging is a web-based message system utilized for managing and exchanging encrypted messages with the stakeholders. These messages may contain sensitive information regarding patient health. Secure messaging helps in achieving Stage 2 (electronic transactions) Meaningful Use, which is described as the crucial transport mechanism for clinical information sharing. Direct secure messaging (DSM) plays a critical role in enhancing patient care by providing constant communication with physicians, healthcare organizations, and end users.
The health information exchange market in Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. High growth in this regional segment can primarily be attributed to the growing initiatives for Japan’s EHR adoption and ICT fund, investments and reforms to modernize China’s healthcare infrastructure, rapidly growing Indian healthcare industry, implementation of HCIT programs in Australia & New Zealand, and One Singaporean One Health Record - one of the pioneer patient management programs in Singapore.
