EMR/EHR Systems of Office-based Physicians: U.S. & State Estimates

In December 2010, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) at the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) in the U.S. released their latest survey results in a study entitled " Electronic Medical Record/Electronic Health Record Systems of Office-based Physicians: United States, 2009 and Preliminary 2010 State Estimates". The data shows that there has been an increasing trend in EMR/EHR usage among office-based physicians from 2001 through 2010. Preliminary 2010 results indicate that about 24.9% of physician offices reported having systems that met the criteria of a basic EMR/EHR system, and 10.1% reported having systems that met the criteria of a fully functional system. Between 2009 and 2010, the percentage of physicians reporting having systems that met the criteria of a basic or a fully functional system increased by 14.2% and 46.4%, respectively.
