Good Patient Care makes the Demand of Better Electronic Health Records Solution

EHR systems have encouraged many physicians around the world to adopt information technology for their routine work. The use of EHR systems helps in maintaining updated information of patients, reduce healthcare costs, improve accuracy and efficiency, and reduce medical errors. The growing government initiatives to encourage the adoption of EHR systems for healthcare facilities has driven the growth of this market. On the other hand, the absence of skilled healthcare IT professionals and high installation costs of EHR systems are some of the major factors that are expected to hamper the growth of this market in the forecast period.

In 2013, the client server-based EHR systems segment held the largest share in the global EHR market; however, the web-based EHR system segment is expected to grow significantly throughout the forecast period. The high growth of this segment can be attributed to the nominal upfront prices of these systems. By end-user, the global EHR market has been classified into ambulatory centers and hospitals. In 2013, the hospitals segment accounted for the largest share in comparison to the ambulatory centers segment.

Geographically, the global EHR market has been segmented into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Among all these regions, in 2013, the North America region dominated the global market in terms of revenue, accounting for 42.6% in the global EHR market.
