UCaaS in Healthcare Market Analysis

The UCaaS Market in Healthcare Industry is expected to register a CAGR of 18.3% during the forecast period.

  • The advent of cost-effective cloud-based solutions has seen increased adoption from healthcare providers, often categorized as having minimum IT budgets. With the subscription-based United Communication services in place, the healthcare contact centers are establishing their PBX systems and seamlessly addressing multiple customer requests from multiple sites.
  • With UCaaS solutions, like cloud-based telephony, messaging, and video-conferencing, caregivers can access essential data in real time. Governments across regions, such as South Korea, are also testing telemedicine to provide affordable remote patient care, thus, giving scope for UCaaS companies.
  • UCaaS, coupled with organizational mobility, provides numerous advantages, like real-time communications to locate and connect the caregivers instantly, effective call routing, and faster connections regardless of location (possible through feature-rich smartphones), and also enables the healthcare organization to establish rules and reduce interruptions and distractions from ER rooms to surgeries.
  • Due to its simplicity, the old UC system is preferred by most enterprises. Large organizations are hesitant to employ UCC services since it is difficult for them to distinguish between standard hosted and managed UCC platforms. The move from traditional PBX communication to UCC will necessitate a faster adoption of the capabilities by the entire workforce to utilize the features thoroughly. As a result, pressure is placed on a company's IT department, which may disrupt the timeframe.
  • UCaaS platforms enable healthcare businesses to keep internal and external communications running during the COVID-19 pandemic by keeping workers connected by phone, setting up virtual team meetings through video conferencing and online doctor consultancy, and setting up cloud-based platforms that enable contact centers to keep up with customer service even when in-hospital work is being completed. Post-pandemic, the market is growing rapidly with the digital transformation of the healthcare sector.
