Electronic Health Record Market Drivers and Opportunities

Market Drivers:

  • Increase in Adoption of Digital Health Care Systems

    The medical field is increasingly using digital systems to improve the quality of patient interactions with the hope of better patient outcomes and processes. Electronic health records contain data that can be more efficiently managed, readily accessible to healthcare providers, and interoperability amongst care providers will become significantly easier, leading to wide-ranging adoption of systems with increased electronic health records (EHR) capabilities in both developed and developing countries.
  • Government Incentives and Regulation Support

    Countries across the world are working to support their providers in the transition to electronic health records through various funding initiatives, regulations and other supportive actions. The regulatory environment in the US has kept pressure on providers to transition to electronic systems. Supporting regulation such as HIPAA protections for data and the HITECH Act, have all incentivized the growth of EHR solutions, while addressing security concerns.
  • Patient-Centered Care Emphasis and Consumer Choice

    There is increasing emphasis on the delivery of care that is more individualized. EHR systems are critical to the delivery of patient-centered plans with personalized plans, promoting patient engagement, better communication between providers, and a better and more satisfying experience for the patient.

Market Opportunities:

  • Integration with Emerging Technologies

    Integration of EHRs with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain is improving accuracy of documentation, predictive analytics, and security. These technologies will allow for automation, intelligent diagnosis, and real-time insight and for healthcare organizations this means significant opportunities to enhance clinical decision making and to improve administrative and operational processes.
  • Cloud-Based and Mobile EHR Solutions

    Cloud and mobile-based EHRs are viable scalable and cost-effective solutions for easy access to patient records at any time. These solutions enable real time data syncing, remote consultations and improved collaboration among providers and meet healthcare organizations' needs to provide flexibility and mobility, especially in post-pandemic delivery of care and overall healthcare infrastructure. 
  • Growth Opportunities in Emerging Economies

    With digital healthcare rapidly developing in emerging economies, avenues are emerging for these markets to adopt EHR's. The demand for EHRs in the emerging markets is bolstered by increasing investments in health information technology infrastructure and increasing internet access, which facilitate the realization of national health goals through government digital health programs. Emerging economies present vendors and other market forces with significant growth opportunities to address the needs of their populations, many of whom are unserved by existing care systems.

Market Trends:

  • AI-Driven Evolution of EHRs in Healthcare Analytics

    AI is enhancing EHR by customizing treatment recommendations, forecasting health outcomes, and identifying diseases much earlier than previously possible. By smarter EHR systems, AI can more seamlessly help with the transition to information-based and preventative healthcare by improving clinical processes, decreasing the administrative load, and aiding in clinical decision support.
  • Interoperability and Integrated Health Records 

    Healthcare systems are prioritizing interoperability across platforms and providers to facilitate seamless data exchange. Integrated health records enable full patient views, coordinated patient care, and minimize duplication. This trend is an important enabler of collaborative care models; it will also help the industry meet regulatory expectations for patient-accessible electronic health information.
  • Value-Based Care Integration 

    The shift from fee-for-service to value-based care is changing EHR systems from focusing solely on documentation of services to documentation focused on health outcomes, efficiency, and quality of care. EHR systems will need to evolve to support performance metric tracking, documenting patient care coordination, and provide insights that appropriately align with reimbursement models for patient health outcomes.
