Hospital Electronic Health Records Market Growth & Trends:
The global hospital Electronic Health Records market size is anticipated to reach USD 22.87 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.84% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This is due to the increasing adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) for the data collection. This data is used to improve patient care by enabling clinicians to identify specific patterns in populations suffering from particular diseases and make better clinical decisions. Additionally, the use of analytical tools on this data helps predict risk for hospitalizations or readmissions boosting the demand for advanced EHR solutions.
Furthermore, the increasing use of cloud-based EHR systems is expected to drive market growth. Cloud-based EHRs offer numerous advantages over traditional web-based systems, making them highly appealing to healthcare providers. These benefits include easy implementation, cost savings, reduced IT resource requirements, improved accessibility and collaboration, and simplified scalability.
Moreover, cloud-based EHRs enhance data security and tackle interoperability and data exchange challenges, further increasing their adoption. For instance, in August 2023, Microsoft Corp announced a new partnership that allows Epic Systems Corporation clients, first with Mount Sinai Health System, to use Microsoft Azure Large Instances. This would precisely benefit larger Epic electronic health record (EHR) databases, offering support for over 50 million database entries per second with dedicated resources. This new solution enables Mount Sinai and other Epic clients to overcome the restrictions of previously used shared public cloud infrastructures.
