Definition:
Hospitals are licensed facilities that provide a variety of medical and surgical services, some of which are also provided by other facilities. A distinguishing characteristic of hospitals is “inpatient care,” which refers to services where patients are admitted to a hospital to stay overnight for closer monitoring.

This market includes general hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, and specialist hospitals, which provide various services to patients, ranging from diagnostics, medical and surgical treatments, nursing and specialized accommodation to other medical services. Depending on the specific legal regulations, the medical services provided by hospitals can vary greatly from country to country. Long-term care facilities, ambulatory care providers, and medical retailers are excluded from this market.

Structure:
The Hospitals market is divided into three categories: Inpatient Care, Outpatient Care, and Other Hospital Services. Inpatient Care comprises all the medical and surgical services that are provided to patients who are admitted to a hospital for an overnight stay. Outpatient Care covers all medical and surgical services that are provided to patients without having to spend the night in a hospital. Other Hospital Services includes hospital services that are provided outside of a basic hospital setting, e.g., day-care, long-term care, and home-based care.

    Analyst Opinion

    The healthcare industry in Colombia is constantly evolving, with the hospitals market being a significant contributor to the sector.

    Customer preferences:
    Colombian patients have become increasingly aware of the importance of quality healthcare services, leading to a rise in demand for modern and well-equipped hospitals. Patients now expect a higher level of care and amenities, such as private rooms, specialized medical equipment, and personalized attention from healthcare professionals.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the major trends in the Colombian hospitals market is the increasing adoption of technology. Hospitals are investing in digital health solutions, such as electronic health records, telemedicine, and patient portals, to improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall healthcare experience. Additionally, there is a growing trend towards consolidation in the market, with larger hospitals acquiring smaller clinics and hospitals to expand their reach and enhance their service offerings.

    Local special circumstances:
    Colombia's healthcare system is a hybrid of public and private sectors, with the majority of the population relying on the public system. The government has implemented various policies to improve the accessibility and quality of healthcare services, including the expansion of health insurance coverage and the implementation of price controls on medications. However, the private sector remains dominant in the hospitals market, with patients willing to pay for higher-quality services and amenities.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    Colombia's economy has been growing steadily over the past few years, with a GDP growth rate of 3.3% in 2019. This has led to an increase in disposable income, allowing more Colombians to afford private healthcare services. Additionally, the government's focus on improving the healthcare system has led to increased investment in the sector, with more resources being allocated towards the construction and modernization of hospitals. In conclusion, the hospitals market in Colombia is experiencing significant growth and evolution, driven by customer preferences for higher-quality healthcare services, the adoption of technology, and the country's improving macroeconomic conditions. The market is expected to continue to expand in the coming years, with increased investment and consolidation leading to the emergence of larger and more advanced hospitals.

    U.S. Hospitals - Statistics & Facts

    The healthcare landscape in the United States is a complicated one. There are federal health insurance plans for low-income individuals namely Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s health insurance program) and Medicare for seniors and the disabled. Aside from these, people must buy private health insurance or be left uninsured because the U.S. is the only high-income country without universal healthcare coverage. Hospitals in the U.S., therefore, receive payment from multiple payers. Most revenue generated by U.S. hospitals comes from private insurance, self, or other payments. The complexity of this multi-payer system is instrumental to the U.S. having the highest administrative health costs per capita among wealthy nations.
