The adoption of electronic medical records has been steadily rising over the past decade. With government policies and initiatives promoting digitization of healthcare records, the demand for EMR systems from healthcare providers is expected to increase substantially. Integration of AI and analytics capabilities in EMR software is allowing providers to gain valuable insights which is supporting smarter clinical decision making. This is expected to drive further investments in upgrading existing EMR installation over the forecast period. Increased spending on healthcare globally due to growing disease burden and customer demand for easy access to medical records digitally will continue fueling the market expansion.
Improving healthcare outcomes
One of the primary drivers for increasing adoption of electronic medical records is the need for improving healthcare outcomes. With electronic medical records, a patient's complete medical history and health profile is easily available to doctors and healthcare providers. This helps in making accurate diagnosis and treatment plans. When doctors have access to comprehensive health records, they can gain deeper insights into a patient's conditions, previous treatments, allergies, lab results and more. This ensures continuity of care and avoids errors that may happen due to lack of critical health information. Electronic medical records also enable better management of chronic diseases. Doctors can closely monitor key indicators over long periods of time and make necessary modifications in treatment plans thus, driving the market development over the forecasted period.
Another major driver has been the government policies and incentive programs encouraging nationwide adoption of electronic medical records. In many countries, governments have launched ambitious national eHealth programs where use of digital health records is being promoted across public as well as private healthcare facilities. This is helping in development of interoperable record systems supporting data exchange between different organizations. Some governments are even providing financial incentives to healthcare providers installing certified electronic medical records solutions. For example, in the U.S., the HITECH Act authorized the Centers for Medicare & Medical Services (CMS) EHR Incentive Programs which provided billions of dollars in incentives for hospitals and physicians adopting digital health records.
