According to a report published by healthcare research and advisory firm Health Industry Insights, the total information technology (IT) spending for the electronic health record (EHR) market in the U.S. will increase to $4.8 billion by 2015.
The Framingham, MA-based company believes that payors will invest earlier in EHRs compared with providers because they currently have more digitized health information than other stakeholders.
The study reports a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8% in the EHR market over the next 10 years, with current spending in that market estimated at $1.1 billion in 2005.
