The high growth is expected due to the increasing government initiatives for the adoption of EHR systems, rising adoption of healthcare intranet technologies (HCIT), rising usage of EHR solutions, and need to reduce the overall healthcare cost.
Due to the development of cloud-based ambulatory EHR solutions, it is possible to keep data safe, secure and fully accessible regardless of time or network traffic. Cloud based solutions require less capital investment, demand fewer IT resources, take up less space, and update automatically, resulting in significant cost savings for clinics without requiring extra time and staff to support bulky hardware installations. The implementation of EHR systems is simpler as it runs on the web instead of computer that means there is no requirement of any software or hardware. Also, cloud-based solutions do not require any hardware installation or software licenses, therefore the implementation cost is very less. Cloud-based EHR solutions require HIPAA compliance through data centers with bank-level security and high-level encryption methods that render data unreadable. Due to several advantages offered by cloud based ambulatory EHR, demand of cloud based ambulatory EHR is increasing. The increasing demand of cloud-based solution is likely to create opportunities for the players in the ambulatory EHR market to develop more advanced solutions.
