Market Dynamics

Market Growth Drivers

By increasing the precision and clarity of medical records, EHR can lower the frequency of medical errors. EHRs provide more comprehensive patient information, enabling doctors to quickly make well-informed care decisions, improve patient care, and lower safety issues. These elements are anticipated to boost EHR adoption.

By automating information access, the electronic health record (EHR) streamlines the clinician's workflow. Through a variety of interfaces, the EHR can directly or indirectly assist other care-related activities like evidence-based decision support, quality monitoring, and outcomes reporting. These benefits are anticipated to propel the EHR industry even more.

The EHR market is also anticipated to be driven by doctors' needs for quick access to patient records.

Market Restraints

There are, several barriers to overcome in the creation of an EHR system. One major problem is the standardization of laboratory test data. Even in the same facility, many test measurements or units have changed over the last thirty years and they need to be calibrated for comparative purposes. Another problem is the right to individual privacy. Patient data must be subjected to a de-identification process to protect the confidentiality of the data. However, a set of data from several laboratories can be used to identify a patient even when personal data is removed. For the purpose of research and the establishment of a real national database, I believe the legislation needs to be amended to allow exceptional use of health records by facilities other than the patient's own facility. Unlike Korea, Japan does not use a social security number or a social health number. The Japanese cabinet has agreed to proceed with the introduction of a social security number but the issue is still controversial and there is no indication when it will be implemented.

By Product (Revenue, USD Billion):

Web-based and cloud-based software is more affordable since it saves on additional costs like license fees, regular upgrades, and device upkeep. Additionally, it reduces the need for IT workers because SaaS providers help with software installation, configuration, testing, operation, and upgrades. The cost-effectiveness of cloud-based EHR systems in small healthcare organizations will therefore fuel developments as well as the expansion of the category. MHealth services

  • Web/Cloud-based EHR software
  • On-premise EHR software

By Application Type (Revenue, USD Billion):

Large amounts of patient health data may be stored and processed by EHRs, which aids doctors in automating both financial and operational operations with rapid and simple access. Therefore, integrated EHR and practice management software navigates all tasks, making it easier for front-line healthcare providers to do their jobs, and will therefore drive the segment's revenue during the anticipated time period.
