Market Driver

The global population aging trend, with over 50% expected to be over 65 years by 2039, is driving the healthcare industry's shift from diagnosis and cure to prevention. Developing countries in Asia and MEA, with higher population growth, are following suit. Remote healthcare, wireless treatment, and minimally invasive treatments are gaining popularity. Preventive care necessitates investments in home care, remote monitoring, telehealth, and self-monitoring solutions. Self-medication and home-based treatments are on the rise, with increasing awareness of lifestyle disorders and technology adoption. Technological advancements in devices like BP machines, insulin kits, glucose monitors, nebulizers, and oxygen concentrators fuel this trend. Remote communication technologies enable efficient and effective care, making home care and self-care more convenient for consumers, while healthcare professionals benefit from easily accessible patient data. In developing countries, limited healthcare access presents an opportunity for Electronic Health Record (EHR) vendors. Challenges include pricing and distribution, but the growing use of self-care and homecare medical devices will increase the need for data collection and storage in electronic form, making EHRs essential. These factors contribute to the growth of the EHR market during the forecast period. 

The Electronic Health Records (EHR) market is experiencing significant growth due to the digitalization of healthcare. Hospitals, healthcare units, rehabilitation centers, and clinics are increasingly adopting EHR systems to streamline paperwork and improve patient care. The professional services segment is a key driver of this trend, offering consulting and implementation services to advanced healthcare facilities. Chronic diseases and acute segments, including hospitals, ambulatory services, and post-acute care, are major users of EHRs. Doctors and pharmacies also benefit from these systems, accessing patient health history, medicines, allergies, immunization status, lab test results, and hospital discharge instructions. EHRs come in various forms, such as web-based, client server-based, acute, ambulatory, and post-acute. Software technology, including artificial intelligence and cloud storage, enhances EHR functionality. Big data analysis helps in disease management and population health. The geriatric population and patients with complex diseases benefit the most from these advanced systems. EHR service providers offer integrated solutions, including lab systems, radiology systems, and clinical documentation, to healthcare providers.

Market Challenges

• The digitalization of healthcare workflows and the maintenance of electronic patient records have significantly transformed the healthcare industry. However, the increasing quantity of complex, diverse, and timely data, commonly referred to as big data, has raised concerns over the security and privacy of sensitive medical information. The growing number of cyberattacks in the healthcare sector, fueled by technologies such as clinical mobility, wireless networking, cloud computing, and information exchange, has heightened these concerns. For instance, in 2018 and 2019, American Medical Collection Agency and Dominion National experienced data breaches, potentially compromising the information of millions of patients. Unauthorized access to this data can result in serious consequences, including the obstruction of hospital databases and the unethical use of medical records. These concerns are expected to limit the growth of the global electronic health records market during the forecast period.
• The Electronic Health Records (EHR) market is growing rapidly as healthcare providers transition from paper records to digital ones. However, implementation comes with challenges. For laboratories, clinics, and advanced healthcare facilities, choosing between Web-based and client server-based EHR systems can be tough. Ambulatory care settings, including clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and specialty centers, require solutions tailored to their needs. Patient healthcare records include vital information like health history, medicines, allergies, immunization status, lab test results, hospital discharge instructions, and billing information. Integrating lab systems, radiology systems, and pharmacy systems is crucial. Clinical documentation and administrative applications are essential for healthcare financing. EHRs must accommodate the needs of various healthcare providers, including physicians, acute care, and post-acute care. Geriatric population and diseases require special attention. Software technology, including artificial intelligence and cloud storage, can streamline processes. EHR service providers must ensure data security and interoperability. Lab test results, hospital discharge instructions, and billing information are administrative data, while health history, clinical documentation, and clinical trial data are clinical applications. Inpatient EHRs, drugs, devices, and administrative data are crucial for hospitals. On-premise software and cloud-based software offer different advantages. Overall, EHRs bring numerous benefits, but addressing these challenges is key to successful implementation.

1.1 On-premises-  On-premises Electronic Health Records (EHR) are self-hosted systems deployed on an organization's native IT hardware and network. These systems offer physical control and improved data security as the data is managed in-house, with no third-party access. Additionally, they have a low reliance on the Internet since data is stored locally. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find on-premises EHR less appealing due to the higher costs associated with the additional hardware and IT infrastructure required. Large enterprises, with sufficient resources, continue to prefer on-premises EHR for its enhanced security features and control. With growing concerns around data privacy and security, the demand for on-premises EHR is expected to rise in the global electronic health records market. Despite the benefits, on-premises EHR implementation comes with challenges such as duplicate data entry, interface issues, and customization expenses due to the need for integration with other business software.
