Electronic Medical Records Market

The global electronic medical records market size is anticipated to expand at a robust CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing adoption of health platforms among patients to track health status easily. Moreover, growing requirement of systems that can manage the patients effectively, securely store records and minimize records retention costs is driving the market growth.
 

Electronic medical records (EMR) constitute of medical and treatment history of the patient. This helps the clinicians to track data of patient over the time. It can track and manage their health data easily. The one of the advantages of EMR is that it can generate and can send prescriptions to pharmacies electronically. They store and process range of data, such as vital signs, personal statistics, laboratory test results, and billing information.

EMR is a digital version of paper-based medical information of patients. It aims at improving the overall quality of patient care. EMR comprises combination of clinical, financial, demographic and coded healthcare data.

Many government organizations have stressed upon the significance of EMRs. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the proper collection, management and use of information within healthcare systems can determine the system’s effectiveness in detecting health problems, defining priorities, identifying innovative solutions and allocating resources to improve health outcomes.

Currently, a number of hospitals and clinics are using EMRs to store important documents related to the patient’s illness. The information repository of individual patients would lead to better security and quick data retrieval whenever required.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities:

• Rising demand for integrated healthcare systems is one of the major drivers that is contributing to the growth of the global electronic medical records market.
• Increasing healthcare expenditure is expected to augment the market growth.
• Increasing safety concerns related to data can hinder the growth of the market.
• Reluctance to adopt EMR solutions in developing nations and need for significant investments in infrastructure development can impede the market growth.
• The outbreak of COVID-19 has positively impacted the electronic medical records market owing to increasing patient admission in hospitals.
