Patient Flow Management Solutions Market Dynamics and Trends by 2028

The patient flow management solutions market is projected to reach US$ 3,621.51 Million by 2028 from US$ 886.43 Million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.3% during 2021-2028.

The market's growth is attributed to some key driving factors such as rising adoption of patient-centric approach, rising numbers of start-ups, and shortage of nursing staff and doctors are driving the growth of the global patient flow management solutions market. However, the shortage of skilled IT technicians and risks of cyber threats are hampering the market growth.

Patient-centric care is a healthcare system that establishes a partnership among practitioners and patients to ensure that important decisions support patients’ demands and needs. Wireless technologies have been built around the hospital environments through which patients and providers can manage personalized data. Smartphones are essential to change health-related behavior and manage hospital schedules. Internet-based tools also make healthcare practices easy and manageable by collecting healthcare information and offering services to enlighten patients about concerned physicists and provide details about their availability and appointment scheduling. Due to the availability of a wide variety of applications and easy access to them, many people have started using these tools to eliminate waiting time and get convenient appointments.

Commonly faced problems by hospitals, such as clinical mistakes, queues, delays, under and overcapacity utilization, patient acceptance in inappropriate settings, variability of workload, and stress for hospital staff are often related to poor patient flow management. Thus, shifting the approach from self-referential designs to a patient-centric and convenient approach promotes the patient flow management solutions market growth.
