“According to a new report from Ovum, the global analyst and consulting company, EHR vendors that are unable to capture a sizeable share of the market this year will be pushed out of an already competitive market. The report titled “2010 Trends to Watch: Healthcare Technology” highlights a number of global government initiatives on EHRs as well as the overall economic and consumer drivers that are driving healthcare providers to adopt IT, concluding that 2010 will be a pivotal year in EHR adoption.
As evidence, an earlier survey completed in late 2009, Datamonitor’s Healthcare Business Trends Survey, where 150 hospitals in North American and Europe were asked to rank their top investment priorities in the next six months, is cited; EHRs were overwhelmingly the top priority for the coming year.”
