U.S. Ambulatory EHR Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. ambulatory EHR market size is anticipated to reach USD 7.60 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.57% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Shift towards outpatient care models, regulatory compliance, and demand for operational efficiency & cost optimization are some of the factors contributing to market growth.

Factors such as lower treatment costs, patient preference for same-day discharge, and advancements in minimally invasive procedures have accelerated a shift toward outpatient care models. Ambulatory care providers, including urgent care centers, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and specialty clinics, require efficient digital solutions to manage high patient volumes with fast turnaround times.

Moreover, stringent regulations regarding data privacy and security, coupled with the increasing emphasis on value-based care, necessitate the adoption of systems capable of supporting compliance and comprehensive clinical performance reporting. Electronic health record (EHR) systems enable ambulatory practices to meet these regulatory obligations effectively, thereby accelerating market penetration. For instance, in November 2023, the Savannah-based St. Joseph’s/Candler Health System implemented MEDITECH’s Expanse Ambulatory platform across over 100 primary care and specialty providers, enabling a unified, cloud-based EHR system.

Furthermore, embedded decision-support tools enhance diagnostic accuracy by providing clinicians with timely notifications regarding medication interactions, clinical guidelines, and evidence-based recommendations. These tools empower healthcare providers to deliver high-quality, safe, and effective care by facilitating informed decision-making. For instance, York Primary Care, an internal medicine practice in Maine, in October 2024, implemented eClinicalWorks V12, an AI-driven EHR, to streamline fax management. The AI automates document recognition and assigns 40-50 daily faxes to patient records, saving over an hour per day
