Growing Demand for Healthcare Data Exchange

Health information exchange allows doctors, pharmacists, nurses, healthcare providers, and patients to access and securely share the patient’s medical information electronically, improving the quality, safety, speed, and cost of patient care.
Despite the availability of electronic data transfer, medical information of most of the Americans is stored either on paper, in boxes, or folders at their homes. The patient’s medical history and records are shared either by mail, fax, or by the patients themselves who carry them from appointment to appointment. While HIE cannot replace the patient-provider communication, it is capable of improving the management of a patient’s medical history, and other important information that can be reviewed during visits. Therefore, owing to these factors, the demand for collaboration between healthcare data among hospitals and other patient care centers, is accelerating. With the growing demand for data exchange, the healthcare information exchange market is expected to accelerate at a rapid, during the forecast years.
Other factors, such as government support in creating infrastructure for data exchange, and rising investment from government, private institutions and individuals, are driving the growth of the healthcare information exchange market.

Thus, privacy and security concerns are hindering the growth of the healthcare information exchange market. Other factors, such as huge initial infrastructural investment and slow return on investment, are also hindering the growth of the market.
