Starting in 2010, government reimbursements to hospitals and physicians
who are not participating in the federal e-record effort will
begin to decline. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
found, in response to a mail
survey last year that 38.4 percent of physicians reported using full or
partial e-records system, not counting billing, in their office-based
practices. About 20.4% reported using a system described as minimally
functional and including the following features: orders for
prescriptions, orders for tests, viewing laboratory or imaging results,
and clinical notes. Comparable figures for the 2006 NAMCS, the latest
available for the full survey, were 29.2% and 12.4%, respectively (1).
This is up from
25 percent in 2005.
