“While active registrants and payments distributed by the Medicare and Medicaid electronic health record incentive programs continue to rise overall, there remain several areas where adoption of EHRs is less than stellar, according to a pair of studies published this week in Health Affairs.
In particular, small, nonteaching and rural hospitals have been slow to adopt EHRs, according to one study, while adoption has crawled by non-primary care doctors, those who are in solo or two-provider practices, and physicians 55 and older, according to another.”
