Dedalus EHR Dominates Europe, Challenging US Tech Giants
Regional Focus Drives Satisfaction in Healthcare IT
European healthcare providers are increasingly favoring locally-developed Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems over those from the United States, according to new research. A recent study highlights Dedalus as a leading provider, demonstrating a strong alignment with country-specific workflows and regulations.
European Users Favor Localized Solutions
A comprehensive study by Black Book Market Research LLC, evaluating EHR satisfaction across 110 countries, revealed that 93% of Dedalus users in Europe believe its clinical documentation tools better suit their national healthcare systems than those offered by U.S. vendors. This preference is part of a wider trend, with 88% of global respondents indicating that country-specific EHRs outperform multinational companies in adaptability, implementation speed, and regulatory compliance.
Country-Specific Successes
Dedalus has achieved notable success in several key European markets. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the platform ranks #1 for aligning with NHS and HSE workflows, with users citing rapid localization, GDPR compliance, and cost-effectiveness. Within the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein), Dedalus leads in user satisfaction, particularly among public hospitals and university clinics, due to its configurability and adherence to evolving eHealth standards.
Italy, Dedalus’ home market, exhibits the highest adoption rate, with users praising the company’s integrated suite of patient management, diagnostics, and clinical decision support solutions. In France, Dedalus’ EHR platform is rated #1 for interoperability with public health registries and alignment with the nation’s digital health roadmap, particularly in the Île-de-France and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur regions.
HIMSS25 Focuses on Interoperability
The release of Black Book’s findings coincides with HIMSS25 Europe, taking place in Paris, where digital transformation, interoperability, and localized EHR adoption are central themes. The report underscores the growing momentum of regionally-attuned platforms like Dedalus in challenging established global EHR providers.
