It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The clinical documentation improvement market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.69 billion in 2023 to $3.99 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, the transition to value-based care models, evolving regulations and compliance requirements, the ICD-10 coding transition which increased the need for detailed documentation, widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) that improved data capture and documentation practices, efforts to optimize revenue cycle management and reduce claim denials, and the use of data analytics to identify documentation gaps.

The clinical documentation improvement market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.44 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, an increasing focus on interoperability driving improvements in documentation practices, the growth of precision medicine, the incorporation of patient-generated health data, the rise of telemedicine necessitating adaptations, and the introduction of new regulations and compliance standards. Major trends expected to influence this period include AI-driven documentation, integrated data systems, precision medicine documentation, real-time patient data, adaptations for remote care, and advanced analytics.

The growing burden of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the expansion of the clinical documentation improvement market in the future. This rise in chronic diseases is largely due to aging populations, lifestyle factors such as poor diet and insufficient exercise, and increasing prevalence of risk factors like obesity and smoking. Clinical documentation improvement plays a key role in managing chronic diseases by ensuring accurate and thorough patient records, which facilitates better care coordination, treatment planning, and outcomes. For example, in January 2024, the British Heart Foundation, a UK-based cardiovascular research charity, reported that around 7.6 million people in the UK are affected by heart and circulatory diseases, with approximately 4 million males and 3.6 million females living with these conditions. These diseases contribute to about 27% of all deaths in the country, resulting in over 170,000 deaths annually, or roughly 480 deaths per day, equivalent to one every three minutes. Consequently, the increasing burden of chronic diseases is expected to propel the growth of the clinical documentation improvement market.

Leading companies in the clinical documentation improvement market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as generative artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical documentation to improve accuracy, efficiency, and overall quality.
