Market Energy – Acute Care EHR (Global) Comments

Healthcare organizations across the world are continuing to prioritize EHR initiatives; although the total number of EHR purchase decisions finalized in 2023 was slightly below the average of recent years, the number of hospitals impacted by the contracts is at a five-year high thanks to several large regional decisions being finalized. In 2023, KLAS validated 186 EHR purchase decisions impacting 734 hospitals and over 128,000 beds. KLAS validated 28 different EHR vendors selected in 35 different countries and territories. Based on the validated EHR decisions, Europe and Oceania were the most active markets, followed by Latin America and Canada.

Performance

Middle East & Africa EHR 2024

23 February 24 | Everton Santos and Spencer Corbett

Over the last five years, the Middle East and Africa healthcare IT markets have expanded and evolved. The Middle East has seen consistent energy around EHR investment and digital transformation, with 10–15 purchase decisions being made annually. Energy in Africa has fluctuated year over year, impacted by some very large regional purchase decisions. When selecting an EHR vendor partner for the digital journey, organizations almost always consider other clinical, administrative, and financial functionalities in addition to the core EHR capabilities the vendor provides. This report both provides an update on EHR vendor performance and market share and offers KLAS’ first holistic look at EHR vendors’ broader portfolios in the Middle East and Africa, specifically highlighting the adoption and performance of ancillary EHR modules.

As electronic medical record (EMR) adoption grows worldwide, healthcare organizations considering this digital transformation all have the same question: what benefits can we really expect to receive from implementing an EMR? KLAS interviewed leaders at 36 non-US healthcare organizations—12 of which are HIMSS Level 6 or 7—to learn about their journey to realizing benefits from an EMR implementation. This white paper summarizes their insights, including what clinical and operational benefits they have seen, when those benefits were realized, and what recommendations they have for peer organizations.

As healthcare organizations have come out of the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, EMR purchase decisions in Asia have ramped up. In Oceania, most public hospitals have an EMR in place, but purchase energy remains high since many public and private provider organizations are planning large-scale purchases of go-forward EMRs. This report—KLAS’ first focused exclusively on Asia and Oceania—highlights (1) market share and vendor energy in recent EMR purchase decisions and (2) vendor performance in each region based on client feedback and experience. The chart below offers a high-level view of vendors’ overall performance.
