CRANFIELD, United Kingdom, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The EMEA market for Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) IT is estimated to have been worth $3.9B in 2020 (acute and ambulatory) according to Signify Research s 2021 global EMR report.
However, 2020 saw several shake-ups which changed the complexion of vendor market shares across the region, namely:
EHR Vendor Revenue Share in EMEA - 2019
Dedalus acquisition of Agfa s HCIS business. The complexion is likely to be further changed in 2021 as it merges DXC s Provider Healthcare business into its portfolio.
CompuGroup Medical s (CGM) acquisition of parts of Cerner s non-Millennium/i.s.h.med European business in February 2020.
The Settlement In a Tuesday statement, HHS OCR says its settlement with Banner Health came after two complaints.
In the first complaint, a patient said she requested access to her medical records in December 2017 but did not receive the records until May 2018. The second complaint alleged that another individual requested access to an electronic copy of his records in September 2019, but the records were not sent until February 2020.
“This first resolution of the year signals that our right of access initiative is still going strong and that providers of all sizes need to respect the right of patients to have timely access to their medical records,” said Roger Severino, OCR director.

An EHR rollout at the University of Vermont Medical Center is being delayed due to a recent ransomware incident.
The lingering aftershocks of an October ransomware attack and ongoing COVID-19 response challenges are forcing the University of Vermont Health Network to delay the next phases of an enterprisewide electronic health record rollout.
The Burlington, Vermont-based healthcare system, which includes six hospitals and other care facilities, says it will revise planned implementation of next phases of its EHR system from Epic Systems Corp, “amid the ongoing effort to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and restore normal operations following a recent cyberattack.”
