U.S. Behavioral Health EHR Market size is expected to reach USD 459.1 million by 2030

 U.S. Behavioral Health EHR Industry Overview

The U.S. behavioral health EHR market size was valued at USD 176.2 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.07% from 2022 to 2030.

Increasing government efforts to boost healthcare IT adoption among healthcare facilities and rising awareness among mental care professionals about the benefits of electronic health record (EHR) are primary factors driving the market. With the advent of technological advancement, physicians can use the same EHR software not only for storing patient data but also for telehealth, e-prescribing, clinical assessment documentation, and other clinical and administrative work. This, coupled with specific needs for behavioral care practices, is propelling the market growth.

Furthermore, increasing funding on start-up businesses is propelling the growth of the market. For instance, in May 2020, Holmusk obtained USD 21.5 million in Series A funding led by Health Catalyst Capital (HCC) and Optum Ventures (OV).

Over the past few years, the prevalence of mental disorders in the U.S. is increasing. Work stress, unhealthy lifestyle, COVID-19 pandemic, loss of loved one, and substance addiction are major factors contributing to the prevalence of mental disorders in the country. According to John Hopkins Medicine, every one in four adults has a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. In addition, 18% of the U.S. population has anxiety disorders. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, around 19 million adults have specific phobias. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects 2.2 million people in the U.S. This is resulting in high demand for behavioral care services and visits to psychiatric hospitals and rehabilitation centers, in turn favoring the market growth.

New forms of technology are targeting the way professionals document their time spent with patients. Clinicians frequently move from patient to patient, which places a cognitive strain on them. Providers confront difficulties at the end of the day when they must make up for lost documentation. A possible solution to this problem is to include a well-designed EHR scribe tool into the EHR workflow. IKS Health created Scribble, an EHR scribe tool that documents the entire case from beginning to end, reducing cognitive load.

Moreover, the industry is focusing on voice-enabled EHR add-ons. Amazon, in particular, is seeking to reduce the number of mouse clicks, switching of computer screens, and eventually cognitive stress by introducing voice-enabled technology. AWS announced the debut of Amazon Transcribe Medical, a voice recognition service that converts physician and patient speech to text. Not only will the technology assist physicians in more effectively documenting short notes in an EHR or mobile app, but it will also transcribe complete discussions into text using proper punctuation. Such technological advancements are expected to drive the market.
