EHRs are here to stay: Here’s how to ensure your clinical workforce makes the most of them

November 7, 2018

It’s no secret clinicians are frustrated with EHRs. However, digital patient records have contributed to numerous improvements in care and will remain a permanent fixture in healthcare for the foreseeable future. EHR adoption is “nearly universal” among acute-care hospitals, with 96 percent of facilities live on the technology as of 2015, according to an analysis by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT at HHS. In 2016, the ONC found more than 95 percent of hospitals eligible for the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs achieved meaningful use with certified health IT.
