EHR adoption in danger of stalling
EHR Connection, September 27, 2004
Manhattan Research, LLC, a healthcare marketing and information firm, completed a study finding that the adoption of electronic health records is in "danger of stalling" unless incentives are developed.
Only 140,000 US physicians currently use EHR, another 283,000 are interested in EHR adoption, reports the company. According to the study, physicians are hesitant to invest in certain technologies because funding is scarce and little quality data about investment return is available.
