“Hospitals will be hard pressed to meet Meaningful Use standards for Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementation. Small and rural hospitals are especially affected. Such is the finding of a recent survey of 3,101 hospitals surveyed by the American Hospital Association. The report, published in Health Affairs on August 26th, reveals that only 11.9% of U.S. hospitals had adopted at least basic electronic medical records at the time of the survey (2009), and only about 2% had done enough to quality for government financial incentives (as anticipated from the questions, matched against the now-know criteria).”
