The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
Epic Systems, Oracle Health (formerly Cerner), Meditech, Evident (CPSI), Allscripts (Veradigm), Athenahealth, Netsmart Technologies, WellSky, Medhost, and Altera Digital Health are widely recognized as ten major companies serving acute hospital care through electronic health records, clinical and revenue cycle systems, and interoperable care platforms. Epic leads the acute hospital EHR market with the largest market share and broad adoption among large health systems due to its comprehensive inpatient and ambulatory suites and strong interoperability capabilities. Oracle Health, following its acquisition of Cerner, remains a principal acute-care vendor with significant deployments in government and large hospital systems and a substantial installed base across inpatient settings. Meditech maintains a large footprint in community and mid-sized hospitals with long-standing inpatient systems and newer cloud offerings aimed at modernizing its customer base. Evident (CPSI) focuses on rural and community hospitals with tailored acute care solutions and a notable presence among smaller facilities that require simplified, cost-effective EHR platforms. Allscripts, operating under Veradigm for parts of its business, provides acute and ambulatory EHR functionality alongside population health and revenue cycle services that integrate with hospital workflows.
Athenahealth and Netsmart Technologies extend acute-care support through cloud-native services and specialized clinical platforms that enhance care coordination and post-acute transitions for hospitals and health systems. Athenahealth’s cloud-based EHR and practice management suites serve hospitals and affiliated ambulatory practices, emphasizing connectivity and revenue cycle optimization for integrated delivery networks. Netsmart, while best known in behavioral health and long-term/post-acute care, supplies interoperable solutions that hospitals use for discharge planning and transitions to community-based services, improving continuity for acute patients moving to post-acute settings. WellSky provides clinical and operational software for post-acute and community-based care but increasingly partners with hospitals to manage patient flow, home health, and transitions of care at discharge. Medhost delivers acute-care EHR and clinical systems with particular penetration in community hospitals and specialty facilities, offering modular solutions for inpatient, emergency department, and ancillary services. Altera Digital Health (formed from recent industry consolidations) and similarly sized regional vendors supply cloud and on-premise acute systems targeted at specific markets and hospital sizes, competing on price, ease of implementation, and localized support.
These ten companies together span the acute-care technology ecosystem from large-scale integrated EHR suites used by tertiary and networked systems to niche platforms optimized for rural, specialty, and post-acute workflows, shaping hospital digital strategies and interoperability efforts. Market-share analyses and vendor reports consistently show Epic and Oracle Health at the top for inpatient hospital penetration, with Meditech, Evident (CPSI), and Allscripts/Veradigm occupying meaningful portions of community and mid-market segments, while Athenahealth, Netsmart, WellSky, Medhost, and Altera meet specialized needs for cloud services, transitions of care, and modular acute-care functionality.
