Utilizing SaaS offers benefits, such as increased flexibility, improving return on investment, gaining a competitive edge, reducing the cost of software deployment, and driving innovation in healthcare. For instance, according to a survey published by GE Healthcare in 2019, 32% of the healthcare organizations adopted SaaS to modernize IT, 27% to gain flexibility, 26% to drive innovation and gain competitive advantage.
Surging spending on healthcare IT and increasing adoption of telemedicine, mobile health applications, EHR systems, and CRM/ERP systems are estimated to increase the adoption of SaaS. The adoption of telemedicine and other digital technologies gain rapid traction during the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to the increasing burden on the healthcare workforce and shortage of healthcare resources. An increasing pressure to reduce healthcare costs and increase the quality of care is estimated to drive the market growth.
Technologies, such as vertical SaaS, micro-SaaS, and artificial intelligence integration, are rapidly gaining traction. Rapid technological advances and initiatives undertaken by key players are supporting the market growth. For instance, in November 2021, CloudHospital began its service to provide SaaS to clinics and hospitals to cater to the growing demand. The company plans to manage internet traffic, communication, presence, patient booking, and increase hospital visibility and accessibility to the patient population.
In August 2021, Contakt World Technologies Corp., a SaaS company involved in health equity and access, acquired Stratum, a cloud platform. The platform enables organizations to evaluate and track health and COVID-19 symptoms.
