Electronic Health Records Market: Overview

The electronic health record system is used for the structured electronic gathering and storage of patient medical data in a digital format. The system helps in expanding patient data accessibility, which improves the overall productivity and efficiency of patient care. System usage is expected to increase in the future due to its numerous features, applications, and interoperability across a variety of healthcare settings. The Medical practitioner’s interactions with EHR are improved by speech-recognition software with natural language processing. It allows for better patient engagement while reducing the amount of time experts spend on paperwork.

In addition, incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) to predict EHR-based clinical outcomes has aided in improving the patient experience through better care delivery. Besides, Data breaches and a lack of appropriately qualified personnel are the causes that are restraining factor of the market. The high cost of EHR adoption and maintenance, a scarcity of experienced specialists in developing nations, and worries about security and privacy are the market's challenges.

COVID-19 Impact:

Since the beginning of 2020, the expansion of COVID-19 has put a lot of pressure on healthcare organizations. Because certain client purchasing decisions and projects are delayed to focus on treating patients, getting critical medical supplies, and managing their organizations during this crisis, the pandemic has negatively impacted the revenue of major market competitors. In addition, companies like Allscripts have seen delays in upfront software revenue and professional services implementations across their outpatient and inpatient bases.

Acute care electronic health records, which can provide extensive clinical details, are used to generate patient information. These details can be used in the ICU, emergency room, inpatient unit, and operating room, among other places.

In 2021, the hospital segment dominated the electronic health records (EHR) market, accounting for more than 60.0 percent of total revenue. The huge amount of medical data created in hospitals is to blame for the increase.
