SUMMARY

• Our initial research revealed that there is little to no information on the number of plastic surgery private practices in the US, let alone a breakdown of this data by revenue and number of employees.
• There was also no published information on the number of practices currently using a healthcare-specific customer relationship management or software as a service product.
• However, we were able to provide data on the North American healthcare cloud computing market in general. A good amount of information was also located on the SaaS platforms used by a lot of plastic surgery clinics.
