Greece's Digital Health Reset: Opportunities Emerge for Local EHR and Interoperability Vendors Amid Lagging IT Infrastructure, Black Book Research

Independent Survey Reveals Gaps in Greek Healthcare IT, Underscoring Urgent Need for Homegrown Digital Solutions and Modernization Partnerships PARIS, FRANCE / / June 8, 2025 / Greece ranks among the lowest-performing nations in Europe across critical digital health benchmarks, according to findings published in the 2025 edition of the Black Book of Global Healthcare Information Technology. The report, based on a Q2 2025 survey of 122 hospital and physician practice administrators in Greece conducted ahead of HIMSS25 Europe, reflects the perspectives of stakeholders on the state of healthcare IT adoption and readiness in the country. While the findings point to significant challenges in Electronic Health Records (EHR), interoperability, and cybersecurity, they also highlight a unique opportunity for Greek-oriented and regional digital health vendors to accelerate transformation. With dissatisfaction running high among providers and patients, local innovation and targeted vendor partnerships could reshape the national health IT landscape. EHR Adoption and Vendor Opportunity Only 14% of Greek providers surveyed reported access to integrated, functional digital health records in routine care. A significant 98% expressed dissatisfaction with current systems, citing fragmented platforms, inefficient workflows, and lack of real-time clinical data access. These gaps open the door for localized EHR vendors to design solutions aligned with national healthcare workflows and policy environments, offering custom platforms that overcome the limitations of foreign, one-size-fits-all technologies. Interoperability as a Catalyst for Growth Just 7% of Greek health IT leaders stated their systems are capable of supporting interoperable data exchange across care settings. The lack of HL7 FHIR-standardized integration highlights the pressing need for Greek vendors and regional integration firms to develop scalable, standards-based health data exchange platforms. Opportunities exist for companies positioned to bridge public-private sector silos, modernize legacy systems, and create unified health information networks. Population Health and Analytics Market Gaps Only 3% of respondents reported using real-time data analytics or risk stratification tools to support population health initiatives. Vendors focusing on chronic disease management, preventive care, and regional analytics platforms can play a key role in helping Greek healthcare organizations harness data-driven care models that are still in early stages of development. Cybersecurity Innovation Needs With 95% of surveyed IT leaders citing significant gaps in cybersecurity, there is growing demand for security-as-a-service, cloud-based protections, and affordable infrastructure assessments tailored to smaller Greek hospitals and clinics. This represents a prime opportunity for cybersecurity firms with healthcare specialization to support compliance, resilience, and trust. Patient Experience Solutions In a companion survey, 97% of Greek patients reported never accessing their health records online, and 100% lacked confidence in their provider's digital tools. This signals a strong market opening for vendors offering secure patient portals, mobile health access, and education tools that empower individuals and improve engagement. Key HIMSS25 Europe Vendors Supporting Greece's Digital Health Needs Several vendors exhibiting and sponsoring at HIMSS25 Europe in Paris next week stand out as especially well-positioned to support Greece's digital transformation goals. These companies offer technologies directly aligned with the challenges facing Greek healthcare and are prepared to demonstrate scalable solutions that address EHR adoption, interoperability, analytics, and patient engagement. InterSystems will showcase their advanced data integration and interoperability platforms, which leverage HL7 FHIR to enable seamless data sharing which is an urgent need for fragmented Greek health systems. Dedalus, a vendor with deep roots in European healthcare, is offering regionally aligned EHR and population health management solutions that address local workflow gaps and regulatory complexities in Greece. Hyland is exhibiting its Content Innovation Cloud, designed to enhance document-based interoperability, support clinical content access, and reduce administrative burden, an important area for Greek hospitals with legacy infrastructure. Oracle Health and Epic Systems will also present end-to-end EHR platforms and AI-powered analytics tools that offer Greek providers the opportunity to benchmark against high-functioning, digitally mature health systems, should they be capable of encompassing the needs of the Greek healthcare systems, its providers and patients at a cost the Greek government and providers can afford. T-Systems, with its cybersecurity and managed IT offerings, will demonstrate solutions ideal for smaller hospitals in Greece needing affordable and scalable security frameworks. Greek CIOs and provider executives attending HIMSS25 Europe are encouraged to engage with these vendors, explore real-time demos, and evaluate how proven digital technologies can be adapted to Greece's local challenges and accelerate national interoperability progress. "This report reflects the voices of healthcare professionals and patients in Greece-not an opinion or judgment by our firm," said Douglas Brown, founder of Black Book Research. "With the right collaborations, local vendors and regional innovators have a real opportunity to drive digital transformation and close persistent technology gaps." "For Greek CIOs and healthcare leaders attending HIMSS25 Europe, this is a pivotal moment to explore firsthand the technologies reshaping connected care across the continent," Brown added. "Vendor demonstrations at the exhibition offer strategic insights into scalable interoperability frameworks, AI-driven analytics, secure cloud infrastructures, and patient engagement platforms-all critical components for modernizing Greek healthcare. The opportunity to benchmark with leading systems and meet innovators building regionalized EHR and data exchange solutions should not be missed." Furthermore, the 2025 World Index of Healthcare Innovation ranked Greece 26th out of 32 European countries in health digitization, possibly falling to last at 32 in 2026. The report highlighted that Greece is one of the least digitally connected countries in the index, limiting its ability to take full advantage of electronic health records and other digital health technologies.

Black Book Unveils Q2 2025 Global EHR Market Update: 14 Regional and Multi-National Vendors Take the Lead in Transforming Worldwide Healthcare IT

Black Book's quarterly global survey of over 11,000 healthcare leaders across 44 countries highlights the rise of regional EHR firms-such as Dedalus, MV Sistemas, InterSystems, Philips Tasy, and Comarch-as they surpass U.S. vendors in localization, adaptability, and satisfaction. LONDON, GB / ACCESS Newswire / May 10, 2025 / Black Book™ Market Research has released a Q2 comprehensive update to Global EHR Market Report revealing a growing shift in international healthcare IT dynamics. Drawing on the voices of over 11,000 clinicians, IT leaders, and healthcare operations executives across 44 countries, the Q2 2025 findings underscore the surge of regional and multi-national EHR vendors that are now outpacing U.S.-based giants in client satisfaction, speed of implementation, and local market integration. Once dominant on the global stage, the most recognized U.S.-based EHR firms: Epic Systems, Oracle Health (formerly Cerner), MEDITECH, and Altera Digital Health (formerly Allscripts) are increasingly challenged by this new generation of regional and multi-country vendors. Political dynamics, rising nationalism, and mounting international resistance to American healthcare software dominance, fueled in part by trade tensions and digital sovereignty policies, are accelerating this competitive realignment according to respondents. 'Global EHR growth is no longer about who has the biggest footprint, it's about who delivers measurable value in-country,' said Doug Brown, President of Black Book. 'Vendors like Dedalus in Europe, MV Sistemas and Philips Tasy in Latin America, and Comarch and Asseco in Central Europe are building EHR ecosystems that reflect local realities, not just exporting U.S. workflows into vastly different clinical environments.' Top-Performing Global and Regional EHR Vendors (2025 Highlights) Dedalus (HQ: Florence, Italy): Operates in over 40 countries Supports 470,000+ hospital beds globally Leads market share in France, Germany, and Italy Expanding rapidly in Sweden, Latin America, UK, Ireland and India Top-rated for localization, clinical usability, and privacy compliance MV Sistemas (HQ: Recife, Brazil): Most widely adopted acute-care EHR vendor in Latin America Active in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Angola 92% user satisfaction for mobile access, cost-effectiveness, and language support SOUL MV platform ranks #1 in Latin America for scalability InterSystems TrakCare (HQ: Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA): Deployed in 29 countries High ratings for interoperability and modular adaptability Success in Australia, Middle East, and Brazil Strong multilingual functionality and clinician-friendly configuration Philips Tasy (HQ: Amsterdam, Netherlands): Over 1,000 installations in Brazil and Mexico Expanded into Germany, UAE, and Australia Highest-rated for native cloud integration in public hospital networks Comarch Healthcare (HQ: Kraków, Poland): Growing presence in France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy Offers multilingual support, intelligent documentation search, and EHR inter-facility exchange Recognized for cost-effective, fast deployment across diverse clinical settings Asseco Central Europe (HQ: Bratislava, Slovakia): Key provider in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and the Baltics Developed Slovakia's National Health Portal and ePrescription platform Excels in public health digitization and national-scale deployments Meierhofer (HQ: Munich, Germany): Core markets: Germany, Austria, Switzerland Expanding into the Netherlands Specialized EHR modules for ICU, surgery, and EDs Rated highly for clinical workflow integration and user interface NTT DATA (Everis) (HQ: Tokyo, Japan / Regional HQ: Madrid, Spain): Dominates Spanish-speaking markets: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Spain ehCOS Suite widely implemented across national health systems Combines regional expertise with NTT's global innovation resources Systematic (HQ: Aarhus, Denmark): Columna CIS is Denmark's most-used EHR platform Deployed across Sweden, Norway, and Finland Rated highest by clients for clinician co-designed user experience Specialized and Emerging Multi-Region Vendors Health Insights (HQ: Cairo, Egypt): MEDiC® platform tailored for rural, resource-limited settings Deployed in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Sub-Saharan Africa Supports integrated care across public, private, and NGO-run health systems Helmes (HQ: Tallinn, Estonia): Built Estonia's national e-Prescription and EHR systems Deployed in Latvia, active in Norway, Sweden, and Japan Trusted for digital public health and registry-level interoperability MedRegis (HQ: Bridgetown, Barbados): Cloud-based EHR system scaling across the Caribbean Active in Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Guyana, and Barbados High satisfaction for mobile-first design, billing automation, and telehealth integration Open Hospital (HQ: Trento, Italy / Program Origin: Uganda): Open-source EHR used in 23 hospitals across 13 countries Deployed in Uganda, India, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Greece Designed for offline use, multilingual environments, and low-cost implementations Orion Health (HQ: Auckland, New Zealand): Maintains large-scale HIE infrastructure in New Zealand, Canada, and Saudi Arabia Focused on population health, data exchange, and community-level care records U.S. Vendors Still Active, But Facing Global Headwinds While the big four US-based HIT vendors continue to secure new global contracts, they are encountering increasing resistance. International healthcare leaders cite rising anti-American sentiment, retaliatory tariff policies, and digital protectionism as major deterrents to selecting U.S.-based systems in 2025 and beyond, say responding global provider organizations. In 28 of the 44 countries surveyed, 71% of provider organizations using U.S.-based EHRs reported friction points related to mismatches in workflow, local coding standards, language modules, or regional privacy compliance. European and Middle Eastern respondents specifically cited cost structure and vendor transparency concerns, as well as growing political pressure to select regionally headquartered alternatives. 'It's not that the U.S. vendors don't have the technology because they do,' Brown noted. 'But global success now requires deep partnership, not just product. Regional firms are doing that far better in 2025.' 'For stakeholders seeking to expand globally or modernize national health systems, the report makes one thing clear,' said Brown. 'Success belongs to those who listen locally and build systems that respect the realities of the markets they serve.' As the global EHR market continues to grow, the Q2 2025 Black Book gloabl updated findings show that trust, speed, localization, and vendor-client collaboration will determine the next generation of market leaders. Multi-country vendors with regional fluency are no longer the exception, they are on the cusp of becoming the new global standard. About the Report The baseline study, The Black Book™ 2025 Global EHR Market Report is based on over thirty thousand verified responses from clinicians, IT leaders, and administrators in 110 countries. The study evaluates Health IT vendors across 18 KPIs and includes country-specific insights, market growth trends, policy landscapes, and vendor performance benchmarks.
