Ambulatory EHR solutions are observing high demand due to their benefits like improving healthcare access and quality of care while reducing costs. The trend is likely to continue as EHR solutions help improve outcomes of chronic diseases management as well as preventive care. Features like population health management, patient engagement, telehealth integration, and support for value-based models are witnessing high importance. Various government stimulus programs are further encouraging healthcare providers to adopt digital health technologies for the better management of patient health as well as administrative operations.

Rising Demand for Integrated Healthcare Delivery

The global healthcare industry is undergoing rapid transformation towards integrated and patient-centric care delivery models. There is a growing recognition that traditional hospital-centric systems are inefficient and fragmented, lacking coordination between different care settings. As patients transition between primary care, specialist visits, diagnostics, post-acute care, and other services, their medical records and care plans are often not well integrated. This results in lost opportunities for continuous monitoring of health conditions, preventive care, improved outcomes and patient satisfaction. Ambulatory EHR solutions are enabling the vision of integrated care delivery by serving as the digital backbone that connects various points of care. They allow seamless exchange of clinical data between providers, thus giving physicians a comprehensive view of patient history regardless of care setting. This level of information flow supports early disease detection, care coordination, remote patient monitoring, and lower readmission rates. For healthcare organizations, EHR facilitates population health management and value-based reimbursement through analytics of longitudinal patient data. Leading providers are implementing robust ambulatory EHR suites combined with patient engagement platforms and care management tools and moving from fee-for-service to truly integrated care models. The drive for seamless healthcare across all points of service is a major factor propelling investments and advancements in ambulatory EHR worldwide.

Increasing adoption of growth strategies, such as technological advancements, is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in October 2023, Texas Partners Center, a surgical center in Texas, U.S., adopted an eClinicalWorks cloud-based EHR for ambulatory surgery centers (ASC) to enhance. The implementation of the eClinicalWorks EHR is set to advance interoperability with ambulatory surgery centers and other providers to boost care coordination.
