Global Healthcare Workforce Management Systems Industry Dynamics
DRIVER: Increasing adoption of cloud-based healthcare workforce management solutions
The cloud-based deployment of healthcare workforce management solutions has gained significant traction. According to the Cisco Global Cloud Index Forecast, the global cloud Internet Protocol (IP) traffic is projected to grow at a CAGR of 30% during 2015–2020. The cloud-based deployment model provides advantages such as lucrativeness, easy and extreme speed of deployment, and more agile management and operation of workforce solutions. The cloud platform caters to the requirement of geographically dispersed business units by offering one consolidated platform. To leverage the advances of this technology, organizations are moving from on-premises workforce management solutions to workforce management solutions deployed in the cloud.
RESTRAINT: Privacy & Data Security Concerns to restrain the growth of healthcare workforce management systems market
The healthcare workforce management systems help greatly in managing the healthcare workforce efficiently; however, easy access of employee data to HR and managers and self-service provision for employees has led to greater data risk and liability. The wide spread of employee-related data further leads to privacy and security risks which may lead to increase in the incidences of data breaches.
In 2021, the HIPAA Journal documented 712 healthcare data breaches in the US, an surge of 10.9% over the total number of breaches tracked in 2020. Between 2009 and 2021, 4,419 healthcare data breaches of 500 or more records have been stated to the HHS Office for Civil Rights. Those breaches have risen in the loss, theft, exposure, or impermissible disclosure of 314,063,186 healthcare records. Thus, generating a safe communication platform is a major challenge met by IT vendors catering to the healthcare industry. Potential safety concerns related to HCIT systems may lead to a increase in the sense of insecurity among users and, hence, restrain their adoption until protected workforce management solutions are available in the market.
OPPORTUNITY: Growing competitiveness to drive workforce optimization in the healthcare industry
Healthcare workforce management systems provide organizations with various benefits and profitable outcomes. Amidst the resource crunch, in order to compete, hospitals need to attract, manage, and retain the best talent while managing costs and processes effectively to deliver high-quality patient care. Therefore, hospitals need effectively utilize advanced tools and processes to leverage their biggest asset and largest expense—employees.
Thus, with growing competitiveness in the healthcare industry, there will be a greater demand from healthcare providers to effectively manage their workforce, while ensuring cost optimization. This provides a greater opportunity for healthcare workforce management systems vendors to penetrate into the growing healthcare industry across the world. Moreover, creating a greater awareness of the operational, functional, and economic benefits of workforce management systems will further help fuel the demand for workforce management systems from healthcare provides across the world.
Challenge: Integration Concerns Hindering the Market
Integrating workforce management systems with existing healthcare information systems (HIS) presents several challenges. These obstacles can impact the seamless flow of data and limit the effectiveness of workforce management solutions. Many healthcare organizations rely on outdated legacy systems that may not be compatible with modern workforce management solutions. Integrating new systems with these old technologies can be difficult and costly. Integrating new technologies into existing workforce management systems is complex, involving technical, operational, and cultural challenges. It's crucial to align technology solutions with the organization's strategic goals to enhance rather than disrupt existing workflows. This requires thorough planning, evaluating various technology options, and engaging stakeholders across the organization to ensure buy-in and support. Successful integration also hinges on providing adequate training and resources to employees so they can effectively leverage new tools.
