“The healthcare scenario throughout the globe presents a contrasting landscape. At one end there are advanced medical devices, qualified medical professionals, and well-equipped hospitals and clinics; at the other end there is the rising cost of medical-care and ageing population trying desperately to fit in the complexity of the future.

In the midst of all, there are lives whose hopes and struggles totally depend on how efficiently the healthcare companies combat the healthcare challenges and reduce this contrast to deliver better medical care.

But before that, it is crucial that we acknowledge the healthcare industry challenges from multiple aspects. This list of top 10 challenges healthcare service providers face will help us in doing so. The list of healthcare industry challenges today goes like this -
1.    Harnessing Advanced Health Technology    2.    Information and Integrated Health Services
3.    Cybersecurity                4.    Rising Healthcare Costs
5.    Healthcare Regulatory Changes        6.    External Market Disruption

To harness the potential of healthcare technology to transform the health systems and develop a connected healthcare environment, healthcare leaders and clinicians need to forge closer ties with medical manufacturers and software application development companies. They can share information and develop new business models and scenarios that can improve the adoption of new technology in healthcare.”
