Global Home Healthcare Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Rising aging population, high incidence of chronic diseases, and need to expand home healthcare access
The growth of the aging population segment will boost the demand for healthcare and significantly increase the burden on governments and health systems as the aging population is more prone to chronic diseases. This will prove favorable to the market for home healthcare, which can enhance the overall reach of and access to healthcare while reducing unnecessary visits, hospital admissions & readmissions, and the time and costs involved in traveling to meet healthcare professionals.
RESTRAINT: Patient safety concerns
In home care, the nurse-physician association involves lesser face-to-face contact, and the nurse is responsible for making assessments and communicating findings. This factor affects the degree of patient safety and outcomes. Another distinguishing characteristic of home healthcare is that clinicians offer medical care to each patient in a unique setting.
