The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the European region has slightly affected the healthcare industry. The healthcare IT sector also experienced negative effects in particular during the first COVID-19 wave. Supply chains were disrupted, slowed down and further stopped the production. Some of the healthcare IT companies operating in EHR market have witnessed revenue loss. For instance, Finland based TietoEVRY, in Quarter 4, 2020 witnessed a decline in overall revenues by 8.5% (versus Quarter 42019) due to the impact of COVID-19. The European countries such as Italy and Spain were the first to report drastically increasing numbers of COVID-positive patients. Perhaps other European countries such as the UK, France, and Germany have also significantly started reporting COVID positive patients. In this region, the healthcare industry is also making shifts to adopt new, safer hospital practices in response to Covid-19. Since physical contact and proximity present such risks, hospitals are turning to various digital tools to meet their care priorities, such as risk reduction and better resource utilization. For instance, Companies like Germany’s Klara are working to put these digital tools at the center of doctor-patient communication all across Europe. Therefore, it expected that the market for the electronic health record (EHR) would witness growth during the forecast period.
