Vietnam's hospitals are undergoing one of the country's most significant healthcare technology transformations, with investment in Hospital Information Systems (HIS) accelerating as healthcare providers digitise clinical, operational and administrative processes.
According to IMARC Group, Vietnam's Hospital Information Systems (HIS) market reached US$118.6 million in 2025 and is projected to grow to US$247.5 million by 2034. The market is being driven by nationwide implementation of electronic medical records (EMRs), government-led digital healthcare initiatives and increasing demand for integrated healthcare information platforms.
Hospital Information Systems are the digital backbone of modern hospitals, integrating clinical, administrative and financial functions into a single platform. They typically incorporate:
- Electronic Medical Records (EMRs)
- Clinical Information Systems (CIS)
- Laboratory Information Systems (LIS)
- Radiology Information Systems (RIS)
- Pharmacy Information Systems
- Patient Administration Systems
- Billing and Revenue Cycle Management
- Clinical Decision Support
- Hospital Analytics and Business Intelligence
These integrated systems improve patient safety, reduce administrative burden, enhance operational efficiency and enable more coordinated, data-driven healthcare delivery.
Several structural trends are accelerating HIS adoption across Vietnam:
- Government policies promoting nationwide healthcare digital transformation.
- Mandatory implementation of electronic medical records across healthcare facilities.
- Expansion of cloud-based hospital information systems.
- Growing use of artificial intelligence to support clinical decision-making and workflow optimisation.
- Increasing interoperability between hospitals, laboratories and national healthcare databases.
- Rising demand for cybersecurity, healthcare analytics and integrated patient management systems.
- Investment by both public and private hospitals in modern digital infrastructure.
One of the strongest growth drivers is Vietnam's national EMR programme. By mid-April 2025, 153 healthcare facilities had officially implemented electronic medical records, replacing paper-based records as part of the country's digital transformation strategy. The government is also expanding the use of electronic health records through the VNeID digital identity platform, with 14.6 million health records already linked to the system. These initiatives are creating significant demand for scalable, interoperable hospital information systems capable of supporting nationwide healthcare connectivity.
The HIS market is also benefiting from broader investment in healthcare IT. IMARC Group estimates Vietnam's Healthcare IT market reached US$1.6 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow to US$4.7 billion by 2034. Hospitals remain the largest users of healthcare IT solutions, adopting cloud computing, telemedicine, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and advanced analytics to improve patient care and operational performance.
Vietnam's wider hospital sector is expanding alongside digital transformation. According to IMARC Group, the country's hospital market reached US$17.48 billion in 2025 and is forecast to exceed US$27.77 billion by 2034, supported by growing healthcare demand, increased private sector investment and continued expansion of healthcare infrastructure. New hospital developments are increasingly incorporating fully integrated digital hospital platforms from the outset.
Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important feature of modern HIS platforms. AI-powered clinical decision support, predictive analytics, automated coding, intelligent scheduling and natural language processing are helping hospitals improve workflow efficiency while supporting more personalised patient care. Cloud-native architectures and interoperability standards are also enabling seamless exchange of patient information across healthcare providers, laboratories and pharmacies.
Leading global healthcare IT providers including Oracle Health (formerly Cerner), Epic Systems, Dedalus, InterSystems, GE HealthCare, Philips, Siemens Healthineers, Microsoft, FPT, VNPT and Viettel continue to invest in hospital digitalisation solutions across Southeast Asia, supporting hospitals in their transition to fully connected healthcare environments.
As Vietnam continues to modernise its healthcare system and implement nationwide digital health initiatives, Hospital Information Systems are expected to become the foundation of future healthcare delivery. For suppliers of healthcare software, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, interoperability platforms, artificial intelligence and hospital management technologies, Vietnam represents one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing digital health opportunities.
