Medical Document Management Market

Market Definition

The global Medical Document Management Market size was valued at USD 0.72 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 1.45 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 12.5% from 2024-2030. A medical document management is a system that allows physicians and health workers to store and retrieve all forms of electronic documents such as word processing documents, scanned images and pdfs. It also enables users to find electronic record of a particular patient in significantly less time contrary to traditional documentation methods.

Thus, med management system has become an integral part of the medical industry as it reduces the reliance on paper and save additional costs as well as improves overall efficiency of a medical organization. 

Market Dynamics and Trends

The surging demand for high clinical efficiency, which reduces the wastage of inefficient healthcare resources, is increasing the adoption of medical document management systems worldwide. These systems streamline administrative processes and also enhance the accessibility, accuracy, and security of medical records, fostering better patient care and organizational effectiveness across healthcare settings globally.

Additionally, the need for electronic medical record retention, which minimizes the risk of lost information and excessive backlog of paper files, as well as rising government initiatives in the healthcare IT sector in countries such as China, India, and the USA, are expected to fuel the demand for medical document management systems globally.

For instance, in May 2022, the government of India planned to establish a national framework for generating electronic health records for over 1.3 billion people, further incentivizing healthcare institutions across the country to adopt medical document management systems.

However, the disinclination of medical staff to change their traditional methods, security concerns associated with electronic data with the rising incidences of data security breach in the medical industry along with high implementation and maintenance cost of document management systems, are the factors that restrain the growth of the healthcare document management market during the forecasted period.

For instance, in January 2022, Broward Health, one of the largest public health cares in USA suffered a data breach compromising confidential information of more than 1 million patients. On the contrary, the devolvement of mobile platforms such as ChARM Health, EHRCentral and PrognoCIS EMR signifies a promising future for the medical document management market. These platforms provide lab and reports, patient records management, inventory and online appointment which is expected to create ample growth opportunities in forthcoming years.

Geographical Analysis

North America holds the dominant share of the global medical document management market and is expected to remain dominant at the present time. This is attributed to factors such as increasing expenditure for research and development activities by government, along with growing government initiatives regarding improved healthcare infrastructure in this region. 

According to the Centre for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the U.S. national health expenditure grew 4.1% to USD 4.5 trillion in 2022 (USD 13,493 per person) and accounted for 17.3% of the country's GDP. 

Moreover, the presence of major market players such as McKesson Corporation, IBM Corporation, and 3M Company further boosts the market growth in this region. These industry leaders bring extensive expertise and resources to the region, facilitating the development and adoption of innovative document management technologies tailored to the healthcare sector's needs.

This, in turn, is expected to catalyze further advancements and growth opportunities in the medical document management market within the region. For instance, In April 2023, 3M Health Information Systems (HIS) partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate the innovation and development of 3M Modal ambient intelligence.

Through this collaboration, 3M aims to enhance its ambient clinical documentation and virtual assistant solutions by utilizing AWS Machine Learning (ML) and generative AI services, including Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Comprehend Medical, and Amazon Transcribe Medical. 

However, Asia-Pacific is projected to exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period owing to the rapid modernization in the healthcare industry along with the growing adoption of electronic health records (EHR’s) and healthcare IT technologies in this region.

For instance, in 2022, China’s Ministry of Health initiated a budget of USD 9.8 billion to regulate healthcare IT systems in hospitals by creating a public electronic medical record (EMR) system and medical information platform of the region. This electronic medical record system will improve patients care quality in China by decreasing medical errors and it is also anticipated to reduce medical expenditure.

Furthermore, the expanding elderly population in the Asia-Pacific region presents a significant opportunity for the medical document management market. This demographic shift underscores the importance of efficient and effective document management systems to handle the growing volume of patient records, contributing to the medical records management market's growth in the region. 

According to the National Library of Medicine, the proportion of individuals aged 60 years and above in China is projected to rise from 12.4% (168 million) to 28% (402 million) by 2040 which in turn boosts the market growth.

Competitive Landscape

The medical document management industry comprises of various market players such as Siemens Medical Solutions, McKesson Corporation, Veradigm Inc., 3M Company, Cerner Corporation, IBM Corporation, Epic Systems Corporation, GE Healthcare, Nextgen Healthcare Information Systems, Kofax Ltd., and others. These market players have undertaken various steps such as acquisitions and business expansion to stay competitive and maintain their dominance in the medical document management market.

For instance, in June 2023, Epic Systems expanded its partnership with Nuance Communications to bring ambient clinical documentation to their EHR platform. This integration leverages Nuance's Dragon Ambient eXperience Express and aims to revolutionize medical document management. DAX Express utilizes conversational and ambient AI, allowing healthcare providers to automatically draft Electronic Health Record (EHR) notes during patient encounters.

Also, in June 2022, Oracle Corporation obtained clearance for acquisition of Cerner Corporation from US and European Commission. Oracle’s autonomous Database and voice-enabled user interface will enable Cerner Corporation to rapidly modernize and upgrade their existing system to next generation cloud-based medical document management system.
