Singapore and Malaysia Drive Digital Transformation in the Regional Healthcare IT Landscape, Creating Unprecedented Opportunities for Innovation and Investment
Healthcare technology is rapidly evolving across Africa, with EHR systems and digital solutions expanding in both urban and rural regions. Black Book Research has identified top consulting and advisory firms that are driving significant progress in healthcare IT and EHR adoption, particularly in Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, and Ghana.
Ten consulting firms have been recognized by clients for delivering top-rated outcomes in Latin America's rapidly growing healthcare IT market. As the region's digital transformation accelerates, these firms are leading the way in implementing EHRs, telehealth platforms, population health and advanced analytics solutions.
Significant efforts lie ahead, as the Black Book survey reveals that only 37% of medical practice respondents are receiving value-based care (VBC) payments from upside-risk arrangements and shared savings, while 12% receive payments from full risk. The remaining halfcontinue to rely on Fee-For-Service payments.
Medical and health system technology advisory practices remained among the least impacted, holding up better than other global management consulting industries, although a 13.9% contraction year-on-year is indicated for CY 2020.
