Top 5 EHRs by vendor market share
While the companies above come highly recommended by users in 2023, a handful of large vendors still dominate the EHR market. These “big three” EHR vendors are Epic, Cerner, and MEDITECH, which collectively account for over 75% of the EHR market.
After the three leading EHR vendors, you’ll find many medium-sized companies that still provide software used by thousands of clinicians. These include Evident, Allscripts, Athenahealth, Altera, eClinicalWorks, and many more.
Here’s a list of the top 5 EHRs by market share, according to the latest data:
- Epic – 41%
- Cerner – 23 %
- MEDITECH – 13%
- Evident – 8%
- Allscripts – 3%
These EHR vendors with a significant market share are also excellent choices when shopping for software. Not only do they collectively supply EHR solutions to over half of practice-based physicians, but their software is time-tested and stable.
