Real World Data (RWD) Market Demand Drivers Opening New Revenue Streams
The rising implementation of electronic health records is projected to stimulate the expansion of the real-world data (RWD) market in the coming period. Electronic health records represent digital versions of patient medical charts, designed to store and manage extensive health information to enhance care coordination and facilitate decision-making. The primary reason for this growing adoption is the necessity to improve patient care and safety, as electronic health records offer accurate, immediate access to patient details, minimize medical errors, and strengthen clinical decision-making. Real-world data further enriches electronic health records by delivering insights into patient outcomes and treatment efficacy within daily clinical environments, thereby supporting more individualized and evidence-based care. For instance, in November 2023, NHS England, a UK-based government health authority, stated that 90% of NHS hospital trusts had deployed an Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system, meeting the national adoption objective ahead of schedule. Hence, the increasing embrace of electronic health records is fueling the growth of the real-world data market.
