The U.S. Ambulatory EHR Market is projected to reach $3.57 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2023 to 2030. An ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) is a software program designed for use in outpatient care settings and small practices. Health professionals can access a patient's complete medical history, which is stored in an electronic database. Ambulatory EHRs consist of all documentation of operations or procedures that do not require hospitalization. Ambulatory EHR systems make it easier for healthcare professionals to monitor a patient's medical history and long-term care. Physicians use these solutions to collect and analyze relevant patient information and create a comprehensive database of patients’ personal health records. Such databases help physicians better understand patients’ health, making future diagnoses easier.
The key factors driving the U.S. ambulatory EHR market include increasing government support for the adoption of EHR solutions, patients’ increasing preference for ambulatory care over in-patient care, and healthcare organizations’ growing need to reduce operating costs. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies and the changing technological landscape in developing countries are expected to generate growth opportunities for market players. However, data protection concerns, high implementation costs, high infrastructure investment requirements, and IT infrastructure constraints in rural areas are expected to hamper the growth of this market.
Many patients prefer outpatient care over in-patient care due to its convenience. The adoption of ambulatory EHRs has increased drastically over the last decade due to outpatient treatments becoming the preferred option for most patients. The number of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) in the U.S. has increased steadily over the last decade, with over 5,800 ASCs operating in the U.S. in 2020. These centers performed over 30 million procedures in 2020. An ambulatory surgery center allows patients to be discharged within 23 hours of care, reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections. The overall cost of care in ambulatory settings is lower for both patients and payers due to the lower costs of staffing, space, and supplies. These factors have led to growth in the number of ambulatory care centers in the U.S.
Thus, patients’ increasing preference for ambulatory care over in-patient care is expected to drive the adoption of ambulatory EHRs, boosting the growth of this market.

Data Security & Privacy Concerns Expected to Hinder Market Growth
Protecting EHR data is challenging due to the risk of data breaches, system failures, etc. The information stored in EHRs can be used for identity theft. Unintentional breaches can occur when workers misplace or lose mobile devices or laptops containing electronic documents or transmit data through an unsecured network.
Thus, data privacy and security concerns limit the adoption of ambulatory EHR solutions, hampering market growth.
The Cloud/Web-based Ambulatory EHR Segment to Dominate the Market in 2023
Based on deployment mode, the ambulatory EHR market is segmented into cloud/web-based ambulatory EHR and on-premise ambulatory EHR. In 2023, the cloud/web-based ambulatory EHR segment is expected to account for the larger share of the U.S. ambulatory EHR market. The segment’s large market share is attributed to the advantages of cloud platforms, such as flexibility, mobility, data security, and lower implementation costs compared to on-premise deployments.
The All-in-one Ambulatory EHR Segment to Dominate the U.S. Ambulatory EHR Market in 2023
Based on type, the U.S. ambulatory EHR market is segmented into all-in-one ambulatory EHR and modular ambulatory EHR. In 2023, the all-in-one ambulatory EHR segment is expected to account for the larger share of the U.S. ambulatory EHR market. The segment’s large share is primarily attributed to the ease of use, comprehensive functionalities, and seamless software and hardware offered by all-in-one ambulatory EHRs.
The Large Practices Segment to Dominate the U.S. Ambulatory EHR Market in 2023
Based on practice size, the U.S. ambulatory EHR market is segmented into large practices, small-to-medium-sized practices, and solo practices. In 2023, the large practices segment is expected to account for the largest share of the U.S. ambulatory EHR market. The segment’s large market share is attributed to the ability of large practices to deal with the productivity/maintenance/handling issues that may arise with the implementation of EHR solutions and their financial capacity to choose between a wide range of solutions.
The Practice Management Segment to Dominate the U.S. Ambulatory EHR Market in 2023
Based on application, the U.S. ambulatory EHR market is segmented into practice management, patient portals, computerized physician order entry (CPOE), clinical decision support (CDS), population health management, referral management, and other applications. In 2023, the practice management segment is expected to account for the largest share of the U.S. ambulatory EHR market. The segment’s large market share is attributed to the advanced features offered by ambulatory EHRs, such as capturing patient data, scheduling appointments, and performing billing tasks, which are beneficial for practice management.
The Hospital-owned Ambulatory Centers Segment to Dominate the U.S. Ambulatory EHR Market in 2023
Based on end user, the U.S. ambulatory EHR market is segmented into hospital-owned ambulatory centers and independent ambulatory centers. In 2023, the hospital-owned ambulatory centers segment is expected to account for the larger share of the U.S. ambulatory EHR market. The segment’s large market share is attributed to hospital-owned ambulatory centers’ growing need to organize unstructured health data and the higher adoption of EHR solutions among hospital-owned ambulatory centers compared to independent ambulatory centers.
