The global medical terminology software market size is expected to reach USD 2.34 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing demand for standardization of patient data and compliance with standard vocabularies, such as SONOMED CT, RxNorm, ICD, CPT and HCPCS, and others are driving the adoption of clinical terminology solutions. The software uses a set of standard clinical terms to enable communication between different hospitals, departments, and specialties. This can be useful in situations where doctors need to collaborate in patient care or when patients need to be transferred between hospitals.

Using medical terminology software can also help improve patient safety by reducing the risk of misunderstandings caused by incorrect terms. It also saves physicians time by assisting in the documentation and thereby reducing burnout. Hospitals, health systems, and payers are all seeking innovative while manageable ways for data integration. Moreover, the government is taking active steps by launching incentive programs for patient data integration. Computer-assisted coding and accurate clinical documentation by employing Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology and medical machine learning, are accelerating this process.

In addition, the growing demand for advanced healthcare data solutions is expected to create better business opportunities for clinical terminology solution providers. For instance, in September 2022, XpertDox, a Birmingham-based company specializing in automated AI-powered medical coding solutions, received funding of USD 1.5 million from TN3, LLC, a privately held company based in Arizona. The COVID-19 pandemic slowed down the industry growth. Revenue loss and financial crises, created by the pandemic, restrained hospitals to invest in the deployment of medical terminology software. Furthermore, the postponement of clinical trials resulted in a decrease in the utilization of clinical terminology software by CROs.
