What Home Healthcare IT Looks Like Now, and Where It’s Going

The home healthcare sector has come under increased scrutiny with renewed priorities from the U.S. government, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 1 in 5 Americans served as a caregiver for an adult or child with health or functional needs last year, according to estimates from the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP. And with the U.S. aging population projected to expand significantly in 2030 the year the youngest baby boomers reach age 65 improved long-term-care options are a pressing issue.

Home healthcare is one solution that has gotten a recent boost under President Joe Biden’s proposed American Jobs Plan, which aims to increase funding for home- and community-based services over eight years. Such funding could help with the recruitment and retention of home healthcare workers. Here’s what the home healthcare scene looks like this year and beyond, with a spotlight on continued digital transformation and the impact of mergers and acquisitions.
