The healthcare IT consulting market is experiencing robust growth mainly driven by the increasing adoption of electronic health records (EHR) and the shift toward digitization. Healthcare providers are investing heavily in EHR systems to enhance patient care, streamline operations and comply with regulatory requirements, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States. For instance, in May 2024, market players such as Health First, Axis Health, and Atlantis Orthopedics announced their plans for EHR implementation projects aimed at enhancing patient care and clinical workflows. Health First will implement the Epic EHR system, improving access to medical information and streamlining services for patients and healthcare teams. In line with this, the growing demand for data analytics and business intelligence in healthcare is propelling the market forward. Healthcare organizations are leveraging big data to gain insights into patient outcomes, optimize resource allocation and improve overall operational efficiency. IT consultants play a crucial role in developing customized data solutions, ensuring data security and enabling real-time analytics, which are essential for informed decision-making in clinical and administrative functions.

Telehealth and telemedicine have surged in popularity among patients, healthcare providers, and institutions prioritizing accessible and efficient medical care. This growth has driven significant demand for IT consulting to develop, enhance and support these virtual care platforms effectively. Consultants are instrumental in designing user-friendly interfaces, ensuring regulatory compliance and integrating telehealth solutions with existing healthcare systems. Another notable trend is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into healthcare operations. For instance, in June 2024, Cognizant launched its first healthcare large language model solutions using Google Cloud's generative AI technology, aimed at improving administrative processes in the healthcare sector. Cognizant's AI-driven tools address key workflows, including appeals management and contract lifecycle, promoting efficiency and better healthcare outcomes. These technologies are revolutionizing patient diagnosis, treatment planning and predictive analytics. IT consultants are essential in implementing AI-driven tools, training healthcare staff, and maintaining the ethical use of AI in clinical settings. In line with this, the move toward personalized medicine driven by genomic data and advanced diagnostics requires sophisticated IT infrastructure and specialized consulting expertise to manage and interpret vast amounts of genetic information.
