The healthcare sector is more dependent on Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems than ever. As the industry transitions from paper to digital formats, the demand for skilled professionals to manage, implement, and maintain EHR systems is steadily increasing. Efforts to improve interoperability between various systems also create a need for experts who can integrate and oversee these technologies. With the ongoing expansion of the healthcare industry—driven by an aging population and a rise in chronic diseases—the necessity for effective data management through EHRs will only continue to grow.
