Global long-term care software market is poised to observe a Healthy CAGR of 11-13% by 2027


Posted September 1, 2023 by Medi-TechInsights

Increasing older populations, geriatric care worker turnover, advancements in wearable technology, and government efforts in the sector are some of the major forces fueling the long-term care software market.
 
Long-term care software is a software solution which is used for the management and support of long-term healthcare facilities such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospices, and independent living services such as home healthcare services. Long-term care software includes Clinical Software (EMR/EHR, E-prescribing, Electronic Medical Administration Records, Clinical Decision Support Systems) and Non-Clinical Software [Real-time locating systems (RTLS), Billing, Invoicing, & Scheduling, Payroll Management].

Growing aging population is fuelling the long-term care software market demand
The WHO has estimated that by 2030, approximately 1 out of every 6 people in the world will be above 60 years old. The trend is poised to continue as developing countries are beginning to see increased life expectancies. In several developed countries populations already have significant elderly populations, for instance, 29% of the population in Japan is over the age of 65 and similar trends are being observed in multiple European countries. China is witnessing a similar problem where by 2050, ~40% of the population will be above retirement age, increasing its dependency from 37% in 2015 to 70% in 2050. The UK has also seen dependency raising from 1/10 dependents to productive individuals at the introduction of the social state to 1/3 in the present day. These population imbalances are critical drivers for long-term care software market as lower percentage of the population are caring for more elderly patients.

Healthcare staff shortages is likely to drive long-term care software market demand because of necessity
Another critical driver for long-term care software market is the adoption of the software because of the high level of churn being observed in the healthcare sector. There is a present-day shortage of over 1 million workers in the EU, this trend is set to continue. Similar churn from healthcare workers has been witnessed in the US. Because of a shortage of healthcare staff, the time patients can be seen gets decreased. Long-term care software can reduce the time spend on individuals by healthcare professionals in a multitude of ways:

• Automating routine tasks: Long-term care software can automate routine tasks, such as medication management, scheduling, and billing. This can free up staff time and enable them to focus on higher-value tasks, such as patient care
• Improving communication and collaboration: Electronic health records (EHRs) let multiple providers to access and update patient records in real-time, decreasing the need for manual data entry and improving the accuracy of information. Centralized Patient Data Storage Eliminates the Need for Manual File Collection and Movement by Staff
• Enabling remote care: Remote Care (Telehealth or Telemedicine) Empowers Healthcare Professionals to Deliver Care and Monitor Patients Remotely. This is especially useful in areas where there are shortages of healthcare professionals. These Solutions Offer Cost Reductions in Healthcare, remove barriers to healthcare and often improve patient outcomes.

Examples of telehealth solutions:

• Remote monitoring tools: Wearable devices and mobile apps gather patient data such as glucose levels, pulse and oximetry information and provide warnings for incidents such as patient falls
• Video medicine: Adoption of video assessments frees up healthcare professional time for low complexity or recurrent problems in patients, which increases staff efficience
• Providing decision support: Long-term care software can provide decision support tools that help healthcare professionals make informed decisions about patient care. For example, clinical decision support systems can put up alerts and recommendations based on patient data, helping to improve the quality of care and reduce the risk of errors.
Partnerships have emerged as a common strategy to expand the customer base and capabilities for Long-Term Care Software providers

The long-term care software market is strong in the US. Baby boomers (individuals born between 1946 and 1964) are a generation defined by a period of strong population growth are now reaching an advanced age. As per estimates, in the US by 2030 all boomers will be over the age of 65 and will represent 21% of the population. According to the US Census Bureau, by 2034, the number of adults aged over 65 will reach 77 million while those under 18 will number 76.5 million. This enlarging number of older adults is poised to fuel demand for assisted living and in-home care and in turn demand for long-term care software.
