- [NEWS INSIGHT]
- A recent survey of U.S. physicians from practices of fewer than 10 practitioners found:
- Approximately 15% of respondents were users of
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and 85%were non-users
- 90% of EMR users feel their EMR system has been beneficial to their practice
- 58% of non-users, and 80% under the age of 55,
intend to purchase an EMR system within the next two
years
- Three-quarters of non-users are intrigued by the idea of purchasing an EMR system from a local hospital - if the purchase is at least partially subsidized by the
hospital
- On average, non-users would expect a hospital/health network to subsidize about half the cost of an EMR
system
- 61% cited federal penalties for non-adoption, and 51% cited federal incentives, as the key drivers of EMR adoption
