What should you know about the reality of EHR adoption?
  • Only 4% of practices are effectively using their EHR after 1 year
  • 73% of practices consider their adoption of EHR a failure after 1 year
  • It takes the average physician 7 times longer to document a patient visit using an EHR


  • There have been numerous educational sessions regarding the Healthcare IT Stimulus Package, as part of the ARRA, but most have been provided by vendors and organizations that will financially benefit. Physicians and healthcare organizations are looking for an independent evaluation on how the stimulus package could affect their organization.
