EHR EMR Market Highlights
Increasing adoption of EHR/EMR among healthcare providers is driving the growth of the market. According to the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), electronic medical records (EMR) are digital versions of paper charts in clinicians’ office. They typically contain medical and treatment history of patients. On the other hand, EHRs are designed to reach out beyond the health organizations that originally collect and compile information. EHRs have the capacity to share information between healthcare providers, laboratories, specialists, etc.
The EHR-EMR market is estimated to be valued at USD 42,427.27 million by 2027 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.82% during the forecast period. Application of EHR-EMR in hospital & clinics accounted for the largest HER-EMR market share. However, ambulatory care has been projected to grow at the highest CAGR on account of increasing demand for specialized treatment.
In recent years, the application of healthcare IT in the medical sector has resulted in a parallel adoption of EHR-EMR. According to the updated factsheet of 2017 published by the Canters for Disease Control and Prevention, it was estimated that ~86.9% of the office-based physicians used EMR/EHR systems.
