Survey: Most say EHR benefits outweigh risks
EHR Connection, May 14, 2007
Forty-seven percent of respondents to Kaiser Permanente's recent telephone survey of 1,000 Americans say that paper records are more secure than EHRs. In addition, 57% say that they have never heard or read about EHRs.
Despite this unfamiliarity, however, 73% agree that the benefits of EHRs in emergencies and in improving quality of care outweigh privacy and security worries. The survey also found that:
- 51% would choose a physician based on his or her use of EHRs, all other factors being equal
- 72% say that EHRs are more efficient
- 31% say that better emergency care is the greatest benefit of EHR use
