Analyst Opinion

Outpatient Care is one of the most essential services within the Hospitals market because patients are able to get consultations and/or treatments that can only be provided by hospitals. Driven by the need for more convenient and cost-effective medical services, a continued shift towards outpatient care is estimated in the future.

Furthermore, the growth of telemedicine, such as remote diagnosis, the treatment of patients, and online consultations, is expected to drive the growth of the Outpatient Care market. This technology allows patients to receive medical care remotely, reducing the need for in-person visits and increasing accessibility to medical services, thus making the visit to the doctor more convenient. With the availability of online consultations, patients who may have been deterred by the high complexity of hospital visits can now quickly and easily schedule an online consultation with a doctor. This can result in increased revenue numbers for hospitals as the patient is more likely to follow through with the appointment. Moreover, if the doctor recommends that the patient visit the hospital for further assessment or treatment, it can result in additional revenue for the hospital.

Another key benefit of telemedicine is that, with the aid of technical devices and online consultations, it allows patients to receive post-surgical care from the comfort of their own homes. This has been particularly advantageous for patients who have undergone moderately severe operations that traditionally required an inpatient stay. Hence, it fosters the ongoing trend for shifting from inpatient to outpatient care.

In the forecast period, the Outpatient Care market is expected to exhibit high growth numbers, with a CAGR of around 4%. Hospitals are expected to put a stronger focus on preventive care, which is projected to drive the growth of the market. This may include investments in wellness programs, disease management, and patient education, which can help prevent chronic conditions and improve patient conditions.
