Clinical documentation plays a vital role in risk reduction, accurate patient care, and healthcare cost management. With growing patient volumes, chronic disease burdens, and complex medical billing requirements, the US Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) market is evolving into a crucial risk mitigation tool across American healthcare systems.
According to a recent market research report by MarkNtel Advisors, the US CDI market—valued at USD 2.52 billion in 2024—is forecasted to reach USD 3.95 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 7.86% from 2025 to 2030.
Why CDI Matters: Clinical Accuracy Reduces Financial and Patient Safety Risks
The US healthcare ecosystem generates massive volumes of clinical data—over 1 billion hospital visits annually—making it prone to documentation errors. By 2025, 72% of US hospitals report patient data gaps, contributing to an estimated USD 17.1 billion in medical error-related losses each year.
Inaccurate or incomplete documentation can result in:
Misdiagnosis or delayed treatments
Inaccurate billing and reimbursement errors
Non-compliance with federal regulations
Higher exposure to legal liabilities and financial risks
To address these challenges, hospitals and health centers are investing in CDI technologies to streamline data collection, ensure medical coding precision, and improve billing compliance.

Key Market Insights: Software, Hospitals, and Regional Growth
The CDI market is segmented into Software and Services, with CDI and Computer-Assisted Coding (CAC) software dominating due to their integration with existing hospital systems.
Hospitals remain the leading adopters, driven by increasing disease burdens and patient load. Regionally, implementation is accelerating across the North East, Mid-West, West, and South—with urban centers leading due to their large-scale hospital infrastructure.
Cybersecurity: The Rising Threat to Clinical Data Integrity
Despite its growth, the CDI market faces critical risks from cybersecurity threats. In 2023 alone, 725 reported data breaches exposed over 133 million patient records. One of the most significant breaches affected 11.3 million records at HCA Healthcare.
Ransomware attacks now account for 91% of healthcare data breaches—a trend that's expected to continue, pushing hospitals to invest in cybersecurity defenses alongside CDI systems.
