US Practice Management Systems Market Growth Opportunities and Forecast by 2030

The US practice management systems market size is expected to grow from US$ 6,936.29 million in 2022 to US$ 13,267.85 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 8.4% from 2022 to 2030.

Chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity are the leading causes of death worldwide. These conditions account for most of the healthcare costs in the US. Diabetes can be fatal and has no recognized treatment. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the number of diabetic people in North America is estimated to rise from ~46 million people in 2017 to 62 million by 2045.

According to a report by the American College of Cardiology Foundation, coronary heart disease (CHD) was the primary cause of death among all deaths caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD); ~695,000 people died from heart disease in the US in 2021; CHD was followed by stroke (16.8%), high BP (9.4%), heart failure (HF, 9.0%), and other CVDs (17.9%). Moreover, by 2035, ~130 million adults in the US are projected to have some form of CVD. Obesity rates have been rapidly increasing in developed as well as developing economies worldwide, mainly, due to an upsurge in unhealthy and sedentary lifestyles. The prevalence has increased rapidly in North American countries in the recent decade. Also, obesity levels are anticipated to be high in the US and Mexico, representing nearly 47% and 39% of their populations, respectively, by the end of 2030. Thus, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases bolsters the demand for healthcare services, leading to an increase in the adoption of practice management systems.

Rising Pressure on Healthcare Institutions to Provide High-Quality Services at Reduced Costs Drives US practice management systems Market Growth

Administrative tasks pose major challenges for healthcare providers, impacting their overall performance. Finding and implementing solutions to lower the functional and operational costs to deal with the increasing government pressure regarding the elevating prices of drugs and medical devices is a core objective of healthcare businesses, which allows them to provide value-based health care to patients. As a result, healthcare providers focus on offering enhanced, evidence-based patient care and health plans, improving their regulations management strategies, and consolidating healthcare systems simultaneously.

Healthcare IT systems improve the real-time monitoring of patients’ health, thereby allowing healthcare providers to reduce the costs associated with chronic diseases. As per the American Diabetes Association in 2023, the estimated cost burden associated with diagnosed diabetes cases rose to US$ 412.9 billion. Despite the steady prevalence of diabetes, direct medical costs associated with diabetes grew by 7% from 2017 to 2022. The price can be efficiently managed by a clinical decision support system that further helps manage diseases and keep track of individual dosage patterns, which enables patients to get assistance with disease and medication management, along with helping them overcome the disease.

A smartphone is one of the most dynamic and ubiquitous trends in communications and real-time location tracking. These devices also contribute to making healthcare practices more accessible and manageable by simplifying the process of collecting healthcare information or health data and offering services to patients. With the increasing adoption of smartphones, healthcare providers are looking for ways to streamline their practice management processes and improve patient engagement. Practice management systems are mobile-friendly and support appointment scheduling, billing, and patient communication, among other processes, through smartphone apps. Additionally, the use of smartphones also enables healthcare providers to remotely access patient records and manage their practices, leading to greater efficiency and flexibility. As a result, the practice management systems market is expected to experience substantial growth in the coming years. In addition to their well-established applications such as e-mail and Internet browsing, smartphones are used in real-time location system (RTLS) solutions for tracking and monitoring patients, staff, and medical equipment. With easy access to an array of smartphone applications (apps), people can use mobile health apps to manage chronic conditions and change health-related behaviors. The burgeoning use of smartphones among healthcare professionals and patients is expected to provide significant opportunities for the practice management systems market.

The incorporation of digital solutions makes healthcare facilities a lucrative target for cyberattacks. The healthcare sector is at a greater risk of data breaches than many other sectors. According to a study published in the HIPPA Journal, shedding light on data breaches reported on the Privacy Rights database during 2015–2022, the healthcare sector accounted for 32% of total data breaches, which is nearly twice as many as the incidents reported in the manufacturing and finance industries. Electronic health record (EHR) systems are used to exchange and analyze the patient's clinical information. EHR has a combined setting with an all-in-one operation, which depends primarily on sustaining data integrity as well as uninterrupted communication between the EHR and practice management system. Hence, practice management systems need to adhere to knowledge management, information safety, complexity management, and interoperability requirements. Practice management systems facilitate enhanced patient care by improving efficiency as well as accessibility to data, leading to faster decision-making regarding treatments. Patients' information can be accessed by unauthorized people, such as internet hackers to gain access to these data. The fraud can also involve cases of data duplication, as well as information export without the patient's knowledge and consent. Thus, concerns regarding data privacy and cybersecurity hinder the progress of the US practice management systems market

Future Trend

Elimination of Need for Routine Visits to Hospitals With Remote Monitoring 

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) involves the remote monitoring and analysis of physiological parameters such as heart rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, and blood sugar. An efficient RPM setup can help reduce the number of routine checkups before or after a visit to a healthcare professional. Also, patients can be discharged early after treatments as healthcare professionals can monitor them remotely. This helps decrease the additional costs required for visiting hospitals, thereby reducing the overall medical expenditure of individuals. Also, improved internet connectivity with simultaneous cost reductions is likely to complement the US practice management systems market in the coming years.

Report Segmentation and Scope

Product-Based Insights

Based on product, the US practice management systems market is bifurcated into integrated practice management systems and standalone practice management systems. The standalone practice management systems segment held a larger market share in 2022. It is anticipated to register a higher CAGR from 2022 to 2030. Standalone systems comprise only one module and are designed to address specific needs of healthcare settings. As the system deals with only one process, the installation and maintenance cost of this system is less compared to integrated systems. Additionally, an expanding range of physician setting options provided in standalone systems, considering specific needs and cost concerns in emerging nations, propel the adoption of standalone practice management systems.

Component-Based Insights

Based on component, the US practice management systems market is segmented into software and services. The software segment held a larger market share in 2022. The services segment is anticipated to register a higher CAGR during 2022–2030. Practice management software is used for performing clinical operations such as appointment scheduling, personal management, patient management, coding and billing, and medical record management. Currently, the healthcare sector is focused on offering value-based care and enhanced services to patients. As a result, healthcare providers allocate their resources for effective practice management to avoid dissatisfaction among patients, errors in medical billing, and additional labor charges, which drives the adoption of medical practice management software in the US. The use of intelligent algorithms also allows physicians to make informed decisions.
