The U.S. electronic medical records (EMR) market is expected to reach $4 billion in revenues in 2015, up from $1 billion in 2005, according to a report from market research firm Kalorama Information of Rockville, MD.
With hospitals, physician's offices, and other healthcare entities increasing their IT budgets to include wireless technology applications, and with many focusing on EMR adoption, the stage is set for a market surge, Kalorama said. The physician market for EMR systems is expected to witness maximum growth; the eventual reduction in costs attributable to EMRs is expected to expedite the adoption of new systems in the next several years, according to the firm.
