Vietnam’s hospitals are undergoing a major digital transformation as healthcare providers accelerate investment in Hospital Information Systems (HIS), electronic medical records and integrated digital healthcare platforms.
According to IMARC Group, the Vietnam Hospital Information System Market reached US$118.6 million in 2025 and is forecast to grow to US$247.5 million by 2034.
This means the market is expected to more than double over the forecast period as hospitals transition away from fragmented and paper-based processes towards fully integrated digital environments.
Hospital Information Systems form the operational and clinical backbone of modern hospitals, connecting patient information, clinical workflows, diagnostics, pharmacy, administration and financial management within a single digital ecosystem.
The market includes:
- Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
- Clinical Information Systems
- Laboratory Information Systems (LIS)
- Radiology Information Systems (RIS)
- Pharmacy Information Systems
- Patient administration systems
- Billing and financial management
- Clinical decision support
- Hospital analytics
- Cloud-based healthcare platforms
One of the strongest drivers of growth is Vietnam’s nationwide implementation of electronic medical records.
IMARC reports that 153 healthcare facilities had officially implemented electronic medical records by mid-April 2025, replacing traditional paper-based systems as part of the country’s wider healthcare digitalisation programme.
This transition is creating significant demand for advanced HIS platforms capable of managing patient data, clinical workflows, diagnostics and hospital administration while supporting interoperability across the wider healthcare system.
Vietnam is also integrating health information into its national digital identity infrastructure. The electronic health record feature within the VNeID platform had created 32.1 million accounts by October 2024, with 14.6 million already linked, demonstrating the scale of the country’s ambition to develop a connected national health-data ecosystem.
Cloud-based deployment is becoming increasingly important. Hospitals are moving towards web-based and cloud-hosted HIS solutions that offer greater scalability, lower infrastructure requirements and easier integration with other healthcare platforms.
Artificial intelligence is also reshaping the market.
Modern Hospital Information Systems increasingly incorporate AI-powered analytics, automated clinical decision support and intelligent data management, allowing hospitals to identify operational bottlenecks, support diagnosis and improve the use of clinical resources.
As healthcare providers generate growing volumes of digital information, analytics is becoming a strategic capability. Integrated HIS platforms can help hospitals monitor bed utilisation, patient flows, laboratory turnaround times, clinical outcomes and financial performance in real time.
Vietnam’s broader Healthcare IT market provides a strong foundation for this development. IMARC Group estimates that the country's Healthcare IT Market reached US$1.6 billion in 2025 and will grow to US$4.7 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 12.40%.
The wider Digital Health Market is also projected to grow from US$2.84 billion in 2025 to US$9.52 billion by 2034, with software accounting for 57.05% of the market in 2025. Hospital information systems and electronic medical records are among the core technologies supporting this transformation.
Vietnam’s expanding hospital sector is creating further demand. The country's Hospitals Market reached US$17.48 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach US$27.77 billion by 2034, supported by healthcare infrastructure investment, population growth, private-sector expansion and rising demand for higher-quality medical services.
New hospitals increasingly require digital infrastructure from the outset, creating opportunities for technology providers not only in HIS software but also in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, data integration, interoperability and hospital analytics.
Interoperability will be particularly important as the market matures.
The value of Hospital Information Systems increases significantly when clinical information can move securely between hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies, insurers and national health platforms. Standardised digital health architecture will therefore become increasingly important to Vietnam’s ability to create a truly connected healthcare system.
For technology providers, the opportunity extends well beyond core HIS platforms. Growth is creating demand for electronic medical records, laboratory and radiology software, cloud services, cybersecurity, AI-powered analytics, patient engagement tools, interoperability platforms and implementation services.
As Vietnam continues to modernise its healthcare infrastructure, Hospital Information Systems are becoming essential to improving efficiency, patient safety and continuity of care.
With the market forecast to more than double from US$118.6 million in 2025 to US$247.5 million by 2034, Vietnam represents a significant long-term opportunity for healthcare software companies, digital health providers, system integrators and hospital technology suppliers.
