The adoption of cloud-based electronic health records (EHR) in hospitals gained momentum due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which encouraged EHR implementation in the early 2010s. The adoption of electronic health records (EHR) among non-federal acute care hospitals has reached nearly universal levels, with 96% of hospitals utilizing certified EHR technology by 2015. Basic EHR functionalities, such as access to imaging views, were available in over 80% of hospitals—a significant increase from just 22% in 2008, largely due to the HITECH Act.

Smaller clinics are increasingly adopting cloud-based Electronic Health Records (EHRs) instead of traditional on-premises systems, driven by the need for cost efficiency and scalability. Cloud EHRs minimize the requirement for extensive IT infrastructure, enabling clinics to prioritize patient care without the financial strain of maintaining physical servers. Moreover, the demand for patient engagement tools and mobile access to records that emerged after 2020 has further accelerated the adoption of cloud EHRs in this segment. For instance, in November 2023, eClinicalWorks, the leading cloud EHR for ambulatory care, announced that Ampla Health, a 134-provider FQHC in Yuba City, CA, uses eClinicalWorks V12 to enhance operational workflows. This cloud-based EHR boosts efficiency, enriches physician experience, and empowers patient engagement with advanced, value-added features.
