Electronic Medical Record Use by Office-Based Physicians and Their Practices: United States, 2007. National Health Statistics Report, Number 23, March 31, 2010

摘要

This report presents information on the adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) by office-based physicians in 2007. Percentages of medical practices and physicians within practices using EMR systems are presented by selected physician and practice characteristics. Data from the physician induction interviews of the 2007 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) are presented. NAMCS is based upon a national probability sample of nonfederal office-based physicians who saw patients in an office setting. Sample data were weighted to produce national estimates of office-based physician characteristics and their practices.
