Market Insights and Analyst View:

Healthcare cloud computing uses cloud-based services and technologies to store, manage, and analyze healthcare data. This includes electronic health records, medical imaging, genomic data, and other patient information, as well as advanced analytics and predictive modeling to improve patient care and outcomes. Cloud computing in healthcare also supports remote access and collaboration, enabling healthcare organizations to securely share and access patient data from anywhere, supporting telemedicine, remote monitoring, and virtual care delivery. The healthcare cloud computing market is expected to grow due to increasing numbers of startups in the sector. MedRabbits, lvlAlpha, Spire Automation, lifetrons, and Hidoc Dr are some startups.

Electronic health records, a healthcare cloud computing solution, are becoming increasingly popular with the growing digitization of the healthcare industry. As per The New England Journal of Medicine, as soon as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act became law in 2009, the federal government dedicated US$ 300 million to help healthcare facilities adopt a nationwide health information exchange system. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) also offered more than US$ 35,000 million in incentive payments for adopting electronic health records. According to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), as of 2021, about 4 in 5 office-based physicians (78%) and almost all non-federal acute care hospitals (96%) adopted certified Electronic Health Records. This marked considerable 10-year progress when 28% of hospitals and 34% of physicians had adopted Electronic Health Records since 2011. As per Definitive Healthcare data from 2021, more than 89% of all hospitals had employed inpatient or ambulatory Electronic Health Records. The rapid increase in advanced healthcare analytics has also emerged as a significant growth factor for the market.

Growth Drivers:

Increasing Adoption of EHR, E-prescribing, Telehealth, and Other Healthcare IT solutions

One of the key drivers for the healthcare cloud computing market is the increasing volume and complexity of healthcare data. With the growing adoption of electronic health records, medical imaging, and genomic data, healthcare organizations face the challenge of managing and analyzing large amounts of data. Cloud computing offers a scalable, cost-effective solution for storing, processing, and accessing this data. It is an attractive option for healthcare providers looking to improve their data management capabilities. The shift towards value-based care and population health management also drives the demand for advanced analytics and predictive modeling in healthcare. Cloud computing enables healthcare organizations to leverage these technologies to identify trends, patterns, and risk factors in patient data, ultimately leading to more proactive and personalized care. This aligns with the industry's focus on improving patient outcomes and reducing costs, making cloud-based analytics a valuable driver for the healthcare cloud computing market.

Moreover, the increasing need for remote access and collaboration in healthcare is fueling the demand for cloud computing solutions. With the rise of telemedicine, remote monitoring, and virtual care delivery, healthcare organizations require secure and reliable platforms for sharing and accessing patient data from anywhere. Cloud computing provides the flexibility and accessibility needed to support these remote care models, making it an essential driver for the healthcare cloud computing market. Overall, the growing volume of healthcare data, the demand for advanced analytics, and the need for remote access and collaboration are key drivers for the healthcare cloud computing market. As healthcare organizations continue to prioritize data-driven decision-making, personalized care, and remote care delivery, cloud computing will play a crucial role in enabling these advancements in the industry.

Another driver for the healthcare cloud computing market is the increasing adoption of mobile and wearable devices in healthcare. As more patients use smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices to track their health and communicate with healthcare providers, there is a growing need for secure and efficient cloud-based storage and analysis of the data generated by these devices. Healthcare organizations are also increasingly using mobile and wearable technology to remotely monitor patients and deliver personalized care, creating a demand for cloud computing solutions that can support these initiatives. Additionally, using mobile and wearable devices can generate large amounts of data that can be effectively managed and analyzed through cloud computing, leading to insights that can improve patient care and outcomes. Overall, the increasing use of mobile and wearable devices in healthcare drives the demand for healthcare cloud computing solutions.

Report Segmentation and Scope:

The “Healthcare Cloud Computing Market” is segmented based on Application, Services, Deployment, End Users and Geography. The market is segmented based on application into clinical information systems (CIS) and Non-clinical Information Systems (NCIS). Clinical information systems (CIS) are further classified into Electronic Health Record (EHR), Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), Radiology Information Systems (RIS), Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), and other applications. The Non-clinical Information Systems (NCIS) are segmented into Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), Automatic Patient Billing (APB), Payroll Management System, and other Non-clinical Information Systems. Based on Service, the market is classified into Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, and Platform as a Service. Based on Deployment, the healthcare cloud computing market is bifurcated into Private Cloud and Public Cloud. Based on End Users, the market is bifurcated into Healthcare Providers and Healthcare Payers.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on application, the cloud computing healthcare market is divided into clinical and non-clinical information systems. The clinical information system (CIS)-based solutions segment held a larger market share in 2022, and the same segment is expected to register a higher CAGR during 2022–2031. In contrast, the non-clinical information system will grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted year. The growth is attributed to the technological developments in the healthcare industry and the increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions in clinical practice. The cloud-based model offers several benefits, such as flexibility, scalability, and collaboration. Such benefits associated with the cloud-based model are expected to propel the market. In addition, the cloud-based model also eliminates the requirement of buying, maintaining, and deploying on-premises services, thereby minimizing installation and maintenance costs and contributing to the overall expansion.

Based on end users, the healthcare cloud computing market is segmented into healthcare providers and healthcare payers. The healthcare provider segment held a larger market share in 2022. It is expected to register a higher CAGR during 2022–2031. Global expansion of the information technology sector is expected to boost market revenue.
