Market Dynamics
Market Growth Drivers Analysis
Digitization can also provide a platform for further enhancements in care delivery, including implementation of evidence-based electronic care paths between primary and secondary (hospital) care, built on improved transfer of information between different healthcare teams. Patient engagement in his or her own care can also be improved through EHRs, potentially enhancing health literacy. Decision-support systems and artificial intelligence – which could improve safety and patient outcomes – could also be applied to an EHR in a way that would be impossible with current paper-based systems.
Market Restraints
Many patients resent having to repeat their history to every healthcare professional they see. Money is wasted in duplicating diagnostic tests performed before hospital admission that are then repeated on admission, or where the results are not available when required. Emergency care can be compromised due to lack of accessible information.
COVID-19 impact on “Australia Electronic Health Records Market Analysis”
During the COVID-19 era, efforts being made to deliver patient care and research were accelerated. Researchers collect data for studies and physicians provide patient care through telehealth and remote-controlled engagement tools. The trend towards higher visualization is likely to continue even after pandemic and will heighten infrastructural changes to fruitfully use IT innovations for continued connected healthcare.

Healthcare Policies and Regulatory Landscape
Policy changes and Reimbursement scenarioc
Government initiatives such as My Health Record, aimed at maintaining the health records of all the Australian citizens will also drive growth of various digital health systems platforms in the country. A change in the national government led to changes to the scheme, including rebranding as My Health Record, a new sponsoring agency (the Digital Health Agency) and, most importantly, a change from user opt-in to opt-out. This is where the project started to encounter serious difficulties: the public had not been properly prepared for this shift, and was mistrustful of the EHR program, despite patient organizations and many HCPs promoting the potential benefits.
The Australian government introduced MHR under the National e-Health Strategy. In 2016, the name of PCEHR was changed to My Health Record and citizens were provided an option to opt-out, unlike the old system where they had to opt-in and the government has since invested close to US$1.4bn over a period of 6 years in the MHR program.
An enormous effort by the Australian government and support from General Practitioners, Pharmacies and Healthcare Bodies pushed a large proportion of the population to opt for MHR. The federal government has also assured individuals that the data will be secure and consumers can choose to share information with healthcare professionals connected to MHR.
