Study points to growing gap in rates of EHR adoption | EHR Watch
A study recently published in Health Affairs indicates that many hospitals are steadily toward the comprehensive use of EHRs.
But it also reveals that small, rural, and nonteaching hospitals are lagging behind their better positioned peers.
After pointing out that data is still not available to determine if, and by how much, the HITECH Act has accelerated the move to EHRs, the study’s authors turn to their assessment of data received from the American Hospital Association's annual survey of health information technology adoption from the period 2008–11. The data includes survey responses from over 2,600 acute care hospitals, or 58 percent of all acute care hospitals in the United States. And, on one level, the results are encouraging.
