2010 Archives
by Mary E. Morton, PhD, RHIA, and Susan Wiedenbeck, PhD

Abstract

With the U.S. government calling for electronic health records (EHRs) for all Americans by the year 2014, adoption of an interoperable EHR is imminent in America’s future. However, recent estimates for EHR implementation in the ambulatory care environment are just over 10 percent. This second part of a two-part study (see part one here) examines EHR acceptance factors in an academic-based healthcare system.
