Segmental Analysis:

Based on setup type, the healthcare information exchange market is segmented into public and private. In 2022, the private segment held the largest market share of the healthcare information exchange market, by setup type. Moreover, the same segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. The need for health information exchange (HIE) to transform the healthcare system has become more evident, and the number of health information exchange initiatives (HIEs) has grown exponentially. Over the last several years, private health information exchanges (HIEs) have become a feasible alternative to public model exchanges. Generally, unlike most public HIEs, private HIEs are concentrated in a single community, financed by private healthcare organizations, and do not rely upon public funding. These private models have witnessed significant growth in the marketplace recently. Moreover, there is involvement of private healthcare information providers and a high level of physician engagement at each information system level. In addition, associated benefits, such as high workflow efficiency and fewer governance issues, are expected to increase the adoption rate over the forecast period.

Based on deployment type, the healthcare information exchange market is bifurcated into cloud-based and on-premise. In 2022, the on-premise companies segment held the largest healthcare information exchange market share. However, the cloud-based segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during 2022-2030. Hospitals or other healthcare entities use on-premises to view patient imaging data efficiently. An on-premise delivery solution enables programs to be installed and run on computers on the facility's premises. The on-premise deployment offers a cost-efficient and entirely HIE solution for any practice of any size. The on-premises answer is a business model used in the traditional approach. These solutions are available in various forms to outsource the hardware to use the software in a hosted solution. With an on-premise deployment of imaging management software solutions in hospitals, it is possible to tackle overcrowding in emergency departments and inefficient scheduling for various procedures easily. The cooling cost is also a significant expense to guarantee the servers do not break down. An on-premise solution helps reorganize patient admissions and handoffs, even surgical arrangements and optimizing discharges. Hence, owing to these factors, the demand for the on-premise delivery mode is anticipated to witness significant growth during the coming years.

Based on application, the healthcare information exchange market is segmented into workflow management, internal interfacing, web portal development, and others. In 2022, the web portal development companies segment held the largest healthcare information exchange market share. However, the internal interfacing segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. Workflow management is the process of coordinating the activities that make up an organization's work. A series of tasks that are part of a broader undertaking is referred to as a 'workflow,' and it is often used interchangeably with the term 'business process.' To apply people-oriented change management and process improvement strategies, the MeHI has worked with representatives from 12 healthcare organizations so that they can improve the workflow on the receiving side of HIE. Three interactive sessions were carried out, in which the participants reviewed the change management and then processed the mapping concepts. After that, they applied the mapping concepts to the challenges organizations face after receiving healthcare documents via HIE. Demand for healthcare interfaces is rising, and healthcare entities are working rapidly to connect various internal applications and external resources.
