Vendor-Neutral Archive (VNA) & Picture Archiving And Communication System (PACS) Market Driver: Rising EHR Adoption Drives Growth In Vendor-Neutral Archive (VNA) & Picture Archiving And Communication System (PACS)

Growing adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) is expected to propel the growth of the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market going forward. Electronic health records (EHRs) refer to digital versions of a patient's paper medical records. They encompass a patient's complete health profile, encompassing medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment strategies, vaccination records, and other pertinent health data. Growing adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) enhances the importance of VNAs and PACS in healthcare by promoting data integration, interoperability, and efficient workflows. These systems play a pivotal role in managing, storing, and providing access to diagnostic imaging data, ensuring that healthcare providers have the necessary tools to deliver high-quality care while protecting patient privacy and security. For instance, in June 2023, according to reports published by the Munich American Reassurance Company, a US-based firm that operates as a reinsurance operation, there were 23% of electronic health records (EHRs) adopted in 2020, and IT has increased to 61% in 2022. Therefore, the growing adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) is expected to drive the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) & picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market.

Vendor-Neutral Archive (VNA) & Picture Archiving And Communication System (PACS) Market Driver: Rising Infectious Disease Cases Fuel Growth in VNA and PACS Markets

The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is expected to propel the growth of the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and PACS market going forward. Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi, that enter the body, multiply, and can cause an infection. Vendor-Neutral Archive (VNA) and PACS play a crucial role in infectious diseases by providing efficient storage, retrieval, and management of medical imaging data, facilitating timely and accurate diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment planning for patients affected by infectious conditions. For instance, in March 2023, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a US-based National Institutes of Health, in 2022, 8,300 tuberculosis cases were reported in the United States, compared with 7,874 in 2021. TB incidence during 2022 increased slightly to 2.5 per 100,000 persons, compared with 2.4 during 2021. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is driving the growth of the vendor-neutral archive (VNA) and PACS market.
