Healthcare / Healthtech Churn Rate
Healthtech SaaS products sit in a middle ground — regulated enough to create switching costs, but often competing against entrenched legacy systems. HIPAA compliance and integration with EHR/EMR systems create significant lock-in once adopted. However, long implementation timelines mean that if a product fails to deliver value during the first 90 days, frustration builds quickly. Provider burnout with yet another tool is a real churn risk.
