Electronic Health Records (EHRs) - Analyzing Trends, Technologies, Physicians’ Adoption and Perceptions, Use Barriers and Opportunities, and Future Prospects

Summary

EHRs have long been touted as a key element for achieving more efficient healthcare. One of the primary aims of EHRs was to improve data flow within healthcare systems, to enhance day-to-day operations and patient care. With EHRs becoming more integrated and technologically advanced, and an increasing number of governments supporting their nationwide implementation, EHR uptake has grown significantly. Nevertheless, several issues, including a lack of standardization, interoperability, data safety, and user acceptance, have emerged as obstacles for their wider uptake.

In this report, GlobalData assesses the state of EHRs in the US, Japan, China, and the 5EU (France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the UK). The report also examines healthcare provider satisfaction with EHRs and assesses the role of EHRs in achieving better patient outcomes.
