US Acute Care EHR Market Share 2024: Large Organizations Drive Market Energy

Acute care EHR purchasing remained high throughout 2023. While market energy in 2022 was mostly driven by small organizations, the majority of 2023 purchases were the result of large multispecialty and specialty organizations making go-forward decisions. Of the 319 hospitals impacted by go-forward decisions (including migrations and specialty hospital wins), 79% were part of health systems while the remainder were standalone hospitals. Key decision drivers were acquisition activity and the need to streamline IT departments and improve clinical usability. This report examines these and other trends in EHR purchases that occurred in the US from January-December 2023.
