Market Trends of Global Medical Terminology Software Industry
Reimbursement is Expected to Witness High Growth Over the Forecast Period
Reimbursement is managed care payment by a 3rd party such as insurance company, to a hospital, physician, or other health care provider for services rendered to an insured/beneficiary. Reimbursement is found to hold the largest share which can be attributed to the growing patient volume and rising prescription drug costs are putting a strain on individuals. Additionally, stakeholders' interest in healthcare compensations is growing because of the ongoing increase in healthcare costs. As costs for medical examinations, treatments, and prescription drugs rise, so do healthcare expenditures. According to the U.S. Census Bureau report, published in 2020, all four cardiovascular risk factors are expected to increase from 2025 to 2060, with the largest percentage increase in diabetes (39.3% increase to 55 million persons), followed by dyslipidemia (27.6% increase to 126 million persons), hypertension (25.1% increase to 162 million persons) and obesity (18.3% increase to 126 million persons). According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2020, about 697,000 people in the United States died from heart disease out of which coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, killing 382,820 people and about 805,000 people in the United States have a heart attack every year. Interest among stakeholders in healthcare compensation and reimbursement will grow as the prevalence of chronic diseases and the cost of treatment rise therefore driving the growth.
Various efforts from both governmental and commercial entities have also played an important part in the segment's growth. For instance, the United States' Affordable Care Act is focused on giving low-income households access to health insurance. The law promotes innovative methods for delivering healthcare that lower costs and increase access to affordable health insurance for more people. Many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) may be tempted to manage employee health benefits on their own. Even though it might seem like the less expensive option, any mistakes that result in a plan being out of compliance can cost both the employees and the employers thousands of dollars. Therefore, purchasing suitable healthcare reimbursement software is advised, boosting the segment growth.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Medical Terminology Software Market
North America is expected to dominate the market owing to factors such the mass acceptance of diagnostic device connectivity and integration solutions to reduce healthcare spending, the growing proportion of chronic patients in the US, and rigorous rules and guidelines set by the regulatory government and non-government governing bodies such as the Federal Communications Commission and the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Patient data is complicated, private, and occasionally unstructured. Prospects for improved patient care depend on integrating this data into the healthcare delivery system, which is a barrier that must be surmounted. Even though EHRs have been in use for more than ten years, the market has recently accelerated due to government initiatives in many countries to improve patient data privacy. For instance, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's adoption of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act gave hospitals and doctors who showed considerable EHR utilization financial support. Thus, government initiative towards healthcare Information Technology will drive the growth of the regional market.
