According to research from Framingham, Mass.-based IDC Health Insights, the U.S. EMR/EHR market will move from 25 percent adoption in 2009 to over 80 percent adoption by 2016. The report, IDC MarketScape: U.S. Ambulatory EMR/EHR for Small Practices 2012 Vendor Assessment, says this growth will be influenced by regulatory stipulations and government incentives under American Recovery and Reinvestment Act/Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (ARRA/HITECH).
