Major EHR companies—Epic Systems, Oracle Health, and Meditech—dominate 90% of the market, with government initiatives like the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act significantly accelerating adoption. Recent developments include the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) by leading vendors to enhance clinical support and administrative efficiency. Looking ahead, EHR providers aim to leverage data analytics and AI to enable predictive, coordinated, and proactive patient care.
