What is Propelling Demand for PHM Programs in the U.S.?

“Implementation of Affordable Care Act (ACA) to Favor Growth of Value-based Care”

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) that was enacted in March 2010 is aimed at reducing the per capita cost of healthcare and is also responsible for majorly changing the healthcare infrastructure working to reduce the burden on patients and healthcare providers.

With ACA patients do not have to pay for unnecessary re-admissions which makes the hospitals financially responsible for any re-admissions within 30 days of patients being discharged.

In order to keep a track of all this crucial data and provide better healthcare, institutions are anticipated to adopt PHM programs and reduce overall healthcare costs for patients. The fee-for-service trend is expected to be left out as ACA promotes focus on value-based care services.

“Increasing Rate of Chronic Diseases in the Country”

The U.S. has witnessed a substantial increase in its population being affected by chronic diseases and this can be attributed majorly to increasing obesity and deteriorating lifestyle habits of the population.

The nation has recorded a substantial increase in the incidence of cancers, cardiovascular disorders, obesity, diabetes, etc., and this is also expected to propel the adoption of population health management systems in the U.S.

To reduce hospitalization and reduce per capita costs, PHM programs can be deployed to enable home monitoring and not disrupt treatment procedures as well.

Increasing availability of e-health and m-health applications will also further aid patient engagement via integrated data management through electronic medical records (EMRs) created by advanced population health management systems.

“Rising Geriatric Population Also Bolsters Need for Patient Engagement”

The aging population of the U.S. is increasing and this has created a new demand for healthcare solutions and services in the nation. As the geriatric population increases and the risk of chronic diseases as well this will propel the adoption of population health management systems in the U.S.

Patient engagement will be an area of prime focus since the popularity of home care is increasing among the geriatric population.
