Market Size & Trends
The market for electronic health records in the United States was valued at USD 12.87 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.55% between 2025 and 2030. Government programs to promote the use of healthcare IT, increasingly sophisticated healthcare services, and the growing need for the consolidation and simplification of healthcare data to enhance patient outcomes and save costs are all responsible for this increase.
Because EHR systems are widely used in the nation's healthcare facilities, the United States held a market share of more than 38% of the global electronic health records market in 2024. The increased flexibility of EHR solutions by healthcare organizations, the incorporation of AI in healthcare, and the substantial management of patients and their jobs are the main factors propelling the expansion of the U.S. electronic health records market. In the United States, office-based physicians have a larger preference for EHRs. Approximately 88.2% of office-based doctors use the EMR/EHR system in their practice, according to data published by the National Center for Health Statistics.
Furthermore, the updated method of Real-world Data (RWD) and Real-World Evidence (RWE) in advanced clinical trial designs is improving regulatory issues and lowering documentation. We expect these activities to stimulate market growth by driving demand for electronic health record software in the United States. For example, Century Health and Nira Medical teamed together in January 2025 to offer AI-curated electronic health record (EHR) data for more than 3,000 patients with multiple sclerosis.
EHR Adoption in Oregon
Oregon stands out as a leading state in the adoption of EHR systems. According to the 2022 Report on Oregon's HCIT Landscape by the Oregon Health Authority-Office of Health Information Technology, the state exhibits high EHR adoption rates among healthcare providers. We can attribute this widespread acceptance to several factors
Oregon has implemented various programs and initiatives to encourage the adoption of HCIT solutions. This includes financial incentives, training programs, and technical support to facilitate the transition to digital records.

National Trends And The Impact of The HITECH Act
The nationwide adoption of EHR systems has been significantly influenced by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009. This act was a part of broader healthcare reform efforts and aimed to accelerate the adoption of EHRs through financial incentives.
Market Concentration & Characteristics
Large companies such as Epic Systems, Oracle (Cerner), MEDITECH, and a few others dominate the concentrated market landscape. Due to high penetration of EHR systems in the U.S. The U.S. electronic health records industry is experiencing moderate market growth, but we expect positive growth throughout the forecast period.
Key companies in the U.S. electronic health records industry are launching new products to expand their reach and increase availability in different regions. For instance, in May 2024, Athenahealth unveiled tailored specialty solutions within its athenaOne platform, emphasizing women's health and urgent care. These solutions feature advanced electronic health records (EHR) capabilities, streamlined workflows, and dedicated support to enhance operational efficiency and patient care for specialty providers across the healthcare sector.
Mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. electronic health records industry are increasing, with several companies acquiring smaller players to strengthen their market position, expand product portfolios, and improve competencies. For instance, in September 2023, Thoma Bravo acquired NextGen Healthcare, Inc., a leading EHR systems manufacturer, to expand its capabilities in the market.
Impact of regulations on the U.S. electronic health records industry is moderate. In the U.S., the HITECH Act established the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs to incentivize healthcare providers to adopt and use certified EHR technology.
Several market companies are involved in geographical expansion to enhance capabilities and have a direct presence in countries having high demand. For instance, in July 2023, Universal Health Services (UHS), a prominent provider of hospital and healthcare services from the U.S., is extending the implementation of the Oracle Health electronic health record (EHR) system across its extensive network of behavioral health facilities. Through this expansion, the company now benefits from a unified EHR system in both acute and behavioral health facilities across the United States. This integration aims to enhance care decisions and elevate patient safety practices.
Product Insights
The web- and cloud-based EHR systems segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 83.27% in 2024, and it is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the rising preference of physicians and healthcare providers, which operate on a smaller scale. The growth is further fueling the easy installation of web-based EHRs without the requirement of in-house servers, and it can also offer extensive customizations and improvements as needed.
From 2025 to 2030, we anticipate a declining CAGR for the on-premise EHR systems segment. Lack of interoperability, limited scalability, high capital & maintenance costs, etc., are some of the factors contributing to the declined adoption of the on-premise EHR systems in the U.S.
Type Insights
Based on type, the acute segment led the market, with the largest revenue share of 45.89 % in 2024. Government initiatives for the adoption of EHRs in small-scale facilities are responsible for the growth. For instance, Medicare offers incentive payments to acute care hospitals in the U.S. under the inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS).
The post-acute EHRs segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2030. The diverse applications of EHR, such as facilitating rehabilitation services for patients following discharge from acute care hospitals, drive this growth. Post-acute care facilities, comprising inpatient rehabilitation centers, home health agencies, and long-term care hospitals, are expected to witness increased spending, thereby fueling market expansion.
Business Model Insights
Based on the business model, the professional services segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 32.33% in 2024. In addition, this segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2030. Professional services assist healthcare systems in implementing information systems within their organizations. These services typically include project management, technical and application expertise, optimization of clinical processes, regulatory consulting, and end-user training for the design and implementation of EHR systems.
The subscription segment is expected to witness a significant CAGR during the forecast period. EHR services can be availed through a time-based subscription model, featuring periodic usage charges. This model represents a primary method for packaging and delivering medical knowledge. The data within EHRs is regularly updated based on research findings and can be independently updated from the software it is integrated with. Moreover, this segment encompasses electronic data interchange transactions, facilitating data transfer between payers and healthcare providers.
Application Insights
Based on application, the cardiology segment accounted for the largest market revenue share in 2024. The growth of this segment is driven by the increasing incidence of hospitalizations for patients diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease and stroke. Cardiology EHR software seamlessly integrates data from Electrocardiograms (EKGs), echocardiograms, cardiac catheterization, and other diagnostic instruments into the patient's electronic record.
For instance, in May 2024, athenahealth developed cloud-based EHR software for specialty medical practices and sites of care. Moreover, the company partnered with Cardiovascular Associates of America (CVAUSA) to improve clinical and financial performance using athenaOne, Athena’s suite of EHR, RCM, and patient engagement solutions.
The neurology segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the growing adoption of EHR in the neurology segment, including the increasing incidence of neurological diseases and the rising need for high-quality healthcare services. According to the Pan American Health Organization, in 2019, neurological conditions accounted for 47.39 deaths per 100,000 population in the U.S. We expect this number to drive the demand for advanced EHR software solutions for neurology.
End Use Insights
Based on the end use, the hospital segment led the market with the largest revenue share of 52.94% in 2024. The growth can be attributed to the increasing usage of EHRs in hospitals to record large amounts of data. The 2023 study conducted by Oxford academics shows that the adoption rates of EHRs in the U.S. have significantly increased from 6.6% to 81.2%. Furthermore, 65% of hospitals intend to invest in improving the functionality of their EHR systems, which also boosts the market growth.
The ambulatory use EHR segment is projected to expand with the fastest CAGR from 2025 to 2030, driven by the growing adoption of EHR technology among healthcare facilities. For instance, as per the 2021 Ambulatory Surgery Center Association Survey, 54.6% of respondents indicated the use of an EHR in ASCs. Furthermore, many physician-owned ASCs (62.2%) have implemented an EHR, likely to enhance the growth of the market over the forecast years.
