Last summer, a report from market researcher Kalorama Information revealed that Cerner, the Kansas City, Mo.-based electronic health record (EHR) vendor, thanks to its acquisition of Siemens Healthcare’s EHR business the year prior, holds the top spot in the EHR market, maintaining a slight lead over rival McKesson (Alpharetta, Ga.). In third place in the $27 billion EHR market is Epic (Verona, Wis.), followed by Allscripts (Chicago) in fourth place, the report noted.
In addition, within the EHR market, competitors are combining with a flurry of mergers and acquisitions among vendors.
