Patient Registry Software Market: Market Dynamics
Drivers
Rising Adoption of Electronic Health Records
Aadoption of electronic health records (EHRs) and other HCIT solutions is growing globally, which is considered a positive sign for the software industry for patient registries. This is because, for many EHR products, patient registry software functionality is included or is available as an add-on. Authorities in many countries are focused on increasing the implementation in their healthcare systems of EHR solutions to help increase the provision of healthcare services. Improved patient care, increased patient involvement, and simple collection and storing of patient health information in a digital format result from the growing use of EHR in developed and developing countries. It is expected that the widespread transition from paper-based records to electronic records would increase the demand for integrated applications for patient registries.
Implementation of Government Initiatives
Introduction of government initiatives to establish patient registries and the growing use of patient registry data for post-marketing surveillance are some of the factors driving market development. Electronic health records have been able to draw the interest of government sources due to widespread uses, both clinical and non-clinical. The government of developed and developing countries around the world is launching several federal initiatives, actions, and programs to experience improvements in health care services.
Restrain
Privacy and Data Security-related Concerns
Concerns about privacy abuses such as data theft are associated with all types of medical information technology (IT). Also, due to data protection issues, widespread adoption of registry applications has been restrained. Intensifying security controls is an achievable task for suppliers delivering these services, but these security controls come at the expense of ease of operation, thus undermining the platform's performance. Therefore, privacy and data protection issues are inhibiting the development of the demand for global patient registry applications. Besides, the competition is constrained by the shortage of qualified and skilled professionals.
