How Difficult Do Physicians Say It Is To Adopt Electronic Health Records in Their Practices?

Fifty-four percent of surveyed physicians whose practices adopted electronic  health records said that the implementation process was somewhat difficult,  while 35% said that the process was very difficult and 12% reported that the  process was not difficult, according to a study in the Journal of the American  Medical Informatics Association.

The study found that physicians who did not have any ownership stake in their  practice were less likely to report that the EHR implementation process was  difficult or very difficult, as did physicians who indicated that the office  staff was innovative.

Thirty-eight percent of physicians with partial or full ownership of their  practice indicated that implementation was very difficult, according to the  study.

The study is based on surveys conducted in 2005 and 2009 of 163  physicians who participated in the Massachusetts eHealth Collaborative EHR  implementation project.
