What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Document Scanning Services Market?
The escalating utilization of electronic health records (EHRs) is anticipated to trigger the expansion of the document scanning services market in the near future. EHRs are digitized versions of patients' health and medical histories, encompassing diagnosis, prescribed medicines, treatment protocols, immunization schedules, allergies, laboratory test outcomes, and other pertinent information. With the escalating incidence of chronic illnesses, the drive for cutting healthcare costs, and the escalating demand for quality and safety in patient care, the adoption of EHRs is seeing an uptick. Document scanning within EHRs entails the transformation of paper-dependent medical documentation, for instance, patient charts and lab results, into a digital format. This aids in the effective storage, retrieval, and dissemination of patient data within electronic health record systems. For example, in June 2022, the Department of Health and Social Care, a UK government department, predicted that 90% of NHS trusts would have adopted electronic health records by December 2023, with a full-scale adoption across all trusts mandated by March 2025. Consequently, this escalating adoption of electronic health records acts as a catalyst for the growth of the document scanning services market.
