The act such as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) improves health care quality, safety, and efficiency including electronic health records (EHRs) and a private and secure electronic health information exchange. This type of information exchange is vital in proper disease management by timely alerting clinicians.

Effectively from January 1, 2018, US practitioners receive roughly USD 60.00 for remote patient monitoring (RPM), that involves accessing, reviewing, interpreting, and acting on various physiological data for at least 30 minutes over a 30-day period. RPM is a cost-effective method that reduces patient readmission and emergency department (ED) visits in case of chronic diseases. Medicare pays for Home Healthcare provided by agencies during episode of care (60 days) period that includes skilled nursing care (giving injections, tube feeding, wound dressing), physical therapy, occupational therapy, and counseling for emotional concerns.

Key Market Trends
E-Prescribing is Expected to Grow with Good CAGR in the Product Segment

Electronic prescribing is a new way for care providers to enter prescription information into a computer or mobile application and transfer to pharmacies, where it can be dispensed. As per the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), around 70% of physicians in the United States have transmitted at least one e-prescription. The rise in the trend of e-prescribing is due to the implementation of Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS) in 2010. This also helps to avoid the errors in drug prescription that occur due to handwritten prescription.

E-prescribing helps healthcare providers to track the prescription filling, alert patients on allergies, monitor controlled substance prescriptions, and improve medication adherence, etc. The advantages of e-prescribing over traditional methods are contributing to the growth of the long-term care software market.

North America Dominates the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period

North America is expected to dominate the overall market, throughout the forecast period. This is due to the increasing number of geriatric population and the favorable government policies along with the presence of widespread insurance coverage. In the North America region, the United States holds the largest market share. This is mainly due to the good adoption rate of new technology software services across the country. For instance, The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) allowed practitioners to write prescriptions for controlled substances electronically. This allows a reduction in prescription errors caused by illegible handwritten prescriptions.

Competitive Landscape
