The anticipated increase in hospital admissions is expected to drive the expansion of the patient flow management solutions market in the foreseeable future. Hospital admission entails the process of admitting individuals to a hospital as patients, typically for medical care that cannot be administered at home or in an outpatient setting. Patient flow management solutions play a crucial role in hospital admissions and patient care by offering services such as appointment scheduling and real-time patient tracking. These solutions contribute to reduced wait times, enhanced patient satisfaction, and more efficient utilization of hospital resources. For example, as reported by the National Health Service in December 2023, there was a notable rise in hospital admissions due to smoking in the UK, with an estimated 4.8% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the escalating number of hospital admissions acts as a significant driver for the growth of the patient flow management solutions market.

Major companies in the patient flow management solutions market are directing their efforts towards developing innovative products, such as healthcare data capabilities, aimed at enhancing health equity and patient management. Healthcare data capabilities encompass the capacity to gather, store, analyze, and visualize data pertaining to the health status of individuals and populations. For instance, in November 2022, Google Cloud, a US-based computer application, introduced three new Healthcare Data Engine (HDE) accelerators designed to streamline patient flow management and enhance the analysis of population health metrics to support value-based care initiatives. These accelerators provide tools to empower healthcare organizations in optimizing patient flow, facilitating connections to community resources, and leveraging datasets related to social determinants of health (SDOH). The accelerator facilitates the surfacing of various facility efficiency metrics, enabling health systems to identify trends and effectively manage patient admissions, transfers, and length of stay, while also optimizing departmental capacity management.

In January 2022, LeanTaaS Inc., a United States-based company specializing in patient flow software for health systems, finalized the acquisition of Hospital IQ for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move is anticipated to address intricate challenges concerning capacity management and staffing shortages across various departments, such as the infusion suite, operating room, and inpatient units, with the aim of enhancing patient access, staff satisfaction, and revenue generation. Hospital IQ, also based in the US, offers advanced patient flow, scheduling, and capacity management capabilities.
