The market is segmented on the basis of component, delivery mode, end user, and geography. Based on the mode of delivery, the market is further segmented into cloud-based, web-based, and on-premise.

In addition, a cloud-based population health management system provides enhanced productivity and fast and smooth implementation.
North America Dominates the Market
North America is expected to hold a leading position in the population health management market during the forecast period. Factors, such as favorable regulatory scenario, pressure on healthcare institutions to reduce costs, and rising trends in healthcare IT, big data and cloud computing, well-established healthcare infrastructure, continuous reforms by governments, and the increasing diseased patient burden are driving the growth of the population health management market in the regions. For instance, the US government implemented the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for the prevention of diseases and the adoption of healthcare IT. The ACA will boost the growth of the population health management market and create opportunities for population health management service providers to collect and maintain patients’ data.
