Patient flow management represents the ability of the healthcare system to serve patients quickly and efficiently, as they move through stages of care. A large volume of patient information is generated in healthcare facilities due to a rampant increase in the incidence of chronic diseases across the globe. The manual system of patient flow management is relatively unreliable and is prone to human error and data loss. Manual data management requires extensive manpower and is a cumbersome and relatively expensive task. However, hospitals and healthcare providers are now aware of managing the ever-growing patient flow by adopting integrated patient flow management solutions. Moreover, the increasing prevalence of various diseases is expected to accelerate hospital admissions and patient flow, thereby resulting in the increasing adoption of patient flow management solutions to manage daily patient flow across various hospitals and medical care settings.

A significant reduction in time, labor cost, human error, and data loss offered by patient flow management solutions and the increasing burden of chronic diseases are major factors driving the market growth.

Market Dynamics

The increasing number of hospital admissions and shortage of healthcare professionals is expected to create more burden on the current hospital patient flow management system, thereby increasing the demand for advanced patient flow management solutions. A report published by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), in March 2018, focused on the scenario of the shortage of healthcare physicians in both primary and specialty care. This report updated and aligned estimates conducted in 2015, 2016, and 2017, which showed a projected shortage of physicians between 42,600 and 121,300 by 2030 globally. The report aggregated the shortages into four broad categories: primary care, medical specialties, surgical specialties, and other specialties. According to this report, an estimated shortfall of between 14,800 and 49,300 primary care physicians will be reported by 2030. Furthermore, for the same period, there will be a shortage in non-primary care specialties between 33,800 and 72,700 physicians.
