KEY FINDINGS

LATEST TRENDS

Digital Health Adoption is the Latest Trend in the IDN Industry

With the rapid growth of technologies in various fields the integrated delivery network industry has also taken steps to adopt new and innovative technologies into their field to improve the operational efficiency and to enhance patient engagement. Steps have also been taken to integrate AI and machine learning into the IDN to improve decision making. Plus, with the development of IDN, the accessibility of healthcare has become easy even for patients in remote areas. These factors played a huge role in the adoption of digitalization of the IDN.

US TARIFFS IMPACT

US Tariffs Led to Delay or Shortage in The Supply of the Medical Hardware and Software

Tariffs on the integrated delivery network primarily affect the supply chain leading to a delay or shortage in the supply of the medical hardware and software. This could potentially result in delayed treatments especially for patients in remote areas and thereby heavily affecting the quality of the healthcare. Elevated cost of medical equipment and treatment will greatly affect the middle class patients who are already on tight budgets. Tariffs may open opportunities for the growth of the domestic suppliers of healthcare equipment leading to the domestic market growth. However, on the larger scale, tariffs impact the capital budgets of the IDNs and operational expenditure. These factors are a clear sign of the negative impact of tariffs on the global integrated delivery network industry.

• According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), approximately 55% of hospitals have adopted integrated delivery networks to enhance coordinated care.

• American Hospital Association (AHA) reports that 48% of healthcare providers now use IDNs for centralized patient data management, improving operational efficiency.

As a result, the integrated delivery network market has been growing rapidly and expanding their reach even to remote areas.

• Logistics - This refers to the collaboration of networks and organizations, in order to provide seamless and quality healthcare services. Therefore, IDNs are employed to manage complex supply chains, to support e-commerce logistics and in providing fast and reliable delivery services. Hence by using logistics companies can improve the overall IDNs efficiency, reduce cost and enhance the customer’s satisfaction.

• Supply Chain Food Delivery - As the name suggests it involves supplying food to the healthcare facilities and patients. Some of its applications involve delivering nutritional foods to the healthcare facilities such as hospitals and clinics, direct delivery of food to the patients who have dietary restrictions and providing nutritional food programs for the patients. With the development of healthcare services along with rapid innovations in modern technologies, the supply chain food delivery segment has seen significant growth in recent years.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics includes driving and restraining factor, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factors

Care Coordination Factor is Fueling the Market Growth

In order to achieve safer and effective care for the patients, the IDNs are involved in organizing patients care activities and sharing the patient’s information among the facilities to get better patient satisfaction. By using coordination care methods, the facilities are able to greatly reduce the manual errors, it also helps with minimizing unnecessary tests and treatments thereby reducing the cost and ensuring the patients can get personalized and high quality care across the facilities. These benefits have played a key role in the care driving the integrated delivery network market growth.

• As per Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), 60% of IDNs report reduced readmission rates due to integrated care and coordinated patient services.

• According to Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), 52% of clinics using IDNs achieve faster referral management between primary care and specialty providers.

Increased Adoption of ACOs is Driving the Market Growth

In recent years there has been an increase in the adoption of ACOs in IDN as it is known for providing collaboration with various hospitals and doctors to share medical resources for better patient care. Since ACOs are held accountable for meeting quality metrics and performance standards, they strive to deliver the unique needs and preferences of patients. These factors have resulted in IDN maintaining high quality care and increased patient satisfaction. Thereby propelling the integrated delivery network market growth.

Restraining Factors

Threat to Data Security is Restraining the Market Growth

As with many technologies, the IDN are also greatly affected by cyber-attacks which can lead to leaking of both the patients and facilities confidential data. Data breaches can cause severe damage to the facilities reputation and can even lead to financial loss of the organizations and in serious cases can lead to HIPPA violations as well. Hence threat to data stored in the IDN are a key restraining factor for the growth of the market.

• Government health surveys indicate 35% of small hospitals cite high IT infrastructure costs as a barrier to IDN adoption.

• Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) notes that 28% of healthcare facilities face interoperability challenges between existing EMRs and IDN systems.

Growing Demand for Telehealth is Opening New Avenues for the Industry

Opportunity

One of the fastest rising features of the integrated delivery network is telehealth. This feature allows the patients to get professional medical help from the comfort of their home. This method utilizes the telecommunication between the patients and doctors and it offers the patients with remote monitoring and visual consultation.

This feature is being increasingly employed by patients from underserved areas across the world and it has proven to be quite successful. Hence telehealth is opening new avenues for the IDN market growth.

• National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) data shows 45% of rural clinics are exploring IDNs to expand access to specialty care.

• According to CMS, 38% of hospitals plan to integrate telehealth with IDNs to improve patient engagement and care delivery.

Cultural and Operational Barriers is Challenging the Market Growth

Challenge

For a successful operation of an integrated delivery network it needs to be fully immersed with various healthcare services such as hospitals, clinics, physicians and insurers.
