“Hospitals may face problems when it comes to getting patients to use electronic medical records, which could prevent them from meeting criteria for Stage 2 of meaningful use, according to a new report by PwC Health Research Institute.
PwC’s research found that only 14 percent of consumers said they get their medical records electronically from their physician’s office, and 30 percent don’t know why they would need to. PwC suggests that hospitals need to build in patient input earlier to comply with Stage 2 of the government’s “meaningful use” requirements.”
