Diagnostic Centers Drive Demand for Specialty-Based EHR Systems in China

Description: Diagnostic centers in China are increasingly demanding EHR/EMR systems tailored to specialty clinics such as oncology, cardiology, and radiology.

As chronic disease prevalence rises—especially cancer, heart disease, and respiratory conditions—diagnostic facilities are under pressure to provide precise and integrated patient data. This has led to the rise of specialized EMR modules that can handle complex imaging data, lab results, and cross-department referrals. These modules are designed for specific specialty workflows rather than general administrative tasks.

Specialty-based EHR/EMR tools are also being integrated into hospital systems to support multidisciplinary care: for instance, a cancer diagnosis may require coordination between oncology, imaging, surgery, and pathology. With advanced application features like image archival, interdepartmental consultation, and AI-assisted diagnostics, diagnostic centers are investing more heavily in these systems.

Vendors that can deliver specialty-centric EHR/EMR modules are gaining market share. According to the MRFR report, the specialty-based application segment is one of the fastest growing sub-markets. They expect this trend to continue through 2035, fueled by both government policy and private sector demand.
