Healthcare IT services have a significant impact on patient care, as well as on the delivery, efficiency, and cost of healthcare.

Further, expanding network coverage and rising network infrastructure improvements assist the market growth. Technological advancements in healthcare for improving IT infrastructures, such as incorporating AI, IoT, and big data in healthcare processes, also fuel the market growth.
Government mandates and support for healthcare IT solutions drive the healthcare IT market growth due to the rising use of big data in healthcare, high returns on investment associated with healthcare IT solutions, the need to curtail escalating healthcare costs, the growing demand for HCIT solutions, and the growing remote patient monitoring markets.
Further, rising consumer demand for effective treatment and increased awareness of new technologies are expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Due to the digitalization of administrative, clinical, and financial data, the volume of electronic data created in the healthcare industry has increased tremendously. With the amount nearly doubling every year, it is projected to increase further in the coming years. Aside from the increasing amount, the sheer diversity of data in healthcare poses a significant barrier for healthcare professionals. When compared to other industries, healthcare data is more difficult due to its length and heterogeneity. Service providers are progressively using healthcare IT to meet these difficulties in the business.
As of 2017, about 90% of office-based physicians in the U.S. had implemented Electronic Health Records (EHRs), according to Practice Fusion. Various market companies, including IBM, CGI, MedeAnalytics, and Epic Systems, are developing innovative healthcare analytics solutions to meet the growing preference for EHRs. Overall, the use of EHRs is propelling the healthcare analytics market forward.
Healthcare providers are benefiting from the 'Digital Health' movement. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are now used to identify those at risk and deliver individualized treatments. Such technologies expand the scope of information technology in healthcare by providing new and innovative growth metrics. Digital transformation is an opportunity to accelerate health care performance by lowering costs and improving the quality of care.
