Ambulatory Healthcare Information Technology (IT) Market Report 2026

The ambulatory healthcare information technology (it) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.32 billion in 2025 to $3.53 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing digitization of outpatient operations, rising adoption of scheduling and billing software, expansion of ambulatory service networks, early implementation of healthcare cybersecurity measures, growth of health information systems.

The ambulatory healthcare information technology (it) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.46 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in interoperable health IT, rising focus on cybersecurity compliance, expansion of data-driven outpatient care models, growing adoption of patient engagement platforms, increased use of analytics for operational efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of integrated ambulatory it platforms, rising use of AI-driven workflow automation, growing demand for secure health data exchange, expansion of cloud-native healthcare applications, enhanced focus on patient engagement tools.

The rising adoption of telehealth is expected to propel the growth of the ambulatory healthcare information technology (IT) market going forward. Telehealth involves the delivery of healthcare services, including virtual consultations, diagnosis, treatment, and remote monitoring, through digital communication technologies, and has become an essential element of contemporary outpatient care. The increased use of telehealth is driven by patients’ preference for convenience, quicker access to clinicians, and fewer in-person visits, prompting healthcare providers to expand their digital service offerings. Ambulatory healthcare IT systems facilitate this transition by supporting integrated virtual-care capabilities such as online appointment scheduling, electronic prescribing, secure messaging, and real-time remote monitoring, thereby enhancing care coordination and the overall patient experience. For example, in April 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), a US-based federal agency responsible for protecting public health, telehealth utilization remained elevated in 2023, with 22% of adults reporting at least one telehealth visit. Therefore, the growing adoption of telehealth is driving the expansion of the ambulatory healthcare information technology (IT) market.

Major companies operating in the ambulatory healthcare information technology (IT) market are concentrating on the development of advanced AI-based solutions, such as ambient clinical intelligence tools, to improve provider productivity, reduce documentation workload, and optimize outpatient workflows. Ambient clinical intelligence refers to technology that automatically captures, interprets, and organizes clinical conversations in real time, allowing clinicians to generate documentation and orders seamlessly during patient interactions. For instance, in June 2024, NextGen Healthcare, a US-based provider of cloud-based ambulatory EHR solutions, enhanced the functionality of its NextGen Ambient Assist, an AI-powered ambient listening and clinical documentation solution designed for ambulatory settings. The upgraded version includes improved medical summarization, expanded clinical intent recognition, and AI-assisted diagnosis and order entry, enabling clinicians to complete documentation more efficiently while improving workflow accuracy and provider satisfaction. These developments highlight the increasing shift toward intelligent, cloud-based ambulatory IT solutions that support higher-quality and more efficient outpatient care delivery.

In May 2023, Anatomy IT, a US-based healthcare IT and cybersecurity company, acquired IRIS Solutions for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Anatomy IT aims to expand its presence within the ambulatory healthcare market. As part of this expansion, the company is expected to extend its comprehensive portfolio of enterprise IT and cybersecurity solutions, along with its technological capabilities and resources, to a broader range of healthcare customers. IRIS Solutions is a US-based provider of IT solutions tailored to ambulatory healthcare providers.
