TL;DR
Few physicians could meet meaningful use criteria in early 2012 and using computerized systems for the panel management tasks was difficult, supporting the growing evidence that using the basic data input capabilities of an EHR does not translate into the greater opportunity that these technologies promise.

New England Journal of MedicineThe “Meaningful Use” Regulation for Electronic Health Records
2,084 Citations2010David Blumenthal, Marilyn Tavenner
The widespread use of electronic health records (EHRs) in the United States is inevitable, but inevitability does not mean easy transition.

1,110 Citations2008Catherine M. DesRoches, Eric G. Campbell +9 more
Physicians who use electronic health records believe such systems improve the quality of care and are generally satisfied with the systems, but as of early 2008, electronic systems had been adopted by only a small minority of U.S. physicians, who may differ from later adopters of these systems.

Health AffairsWhich Physicians And Practices Are Using Electronic Medical Records?
159 Citations2005Catharine W. Burt, Jane E. Sisk
Practices with more physicians and those owned by health maintenance organizations (HMOs) were significantly more likely to use EMRs, but use varied little by the characteristics of individual physicians, the practice's scope of services, or thepractice's sources of revenue.
Annals of Internal MedicineAssociations Between Structural Capabilities of Primary Care Practices and Performance on Selected Quality Measures
145 Citations2009Mark W. Friedberg, Kathryn L. Coltin +4 more
This study examined associations between structural features and quality of care in 412 practices and quality measures related to diabetes, depression, prevention, and overuse of selected tests and treatments to determine whether primary care practices with selected structural capabilities have higher performance on widely used clinical quality measures.
Health AffairsPhysicians In Nonprimary Care And Small Practices And Those Age 55 And Older Lag In Adopting Electronic Health Record Systems
132 Citations2012Sandra L. Decker, Eric Jamoom +1 more
It is found that although trends in adoption of electronic health record systems across geographic regions converged from 2002 through 2011, adoption continued to lag for non-primary care specialists, physicians age fifty-five and older, and physicians in small (1-2 providers) and physician-owned practices.
International Journal of Human-Computer StudiesEvaluating usability of a commercial electronic health record: A case study
118 Citations2008Paula J. Edwards, Kevin P. Moloney +2 more
A predictive evaluation method was used to evaluate and improve the usability of the EHR system, Heuristic Walkthrough, which resulted in immediate changes in the system configuration and training materials, which helped to avoid usability problems at rollout.

92 Citations2012Adam Wright, Justine Pang +7 more
Problem inference alerts significantly increase notation of important patient problems in primary care, which in turn has the potential to facilitate quality improvement.
Health AffairsMeasuring Meaningful Use
51 Citations2010Sean Hogan, Stephanie Kissam
A new analysis of baseline use of specific electronic health record functions among primary care physicians and medical and surgical specialists can help researchers and policy makers measure more accurately the success of ongoing efforts to expand effective use of health information technology.

45 Citations2012Chun‐Ju Hsiao, Sandra L. Decker +2 more
Although the federal Medicare incentives will be available through 2016, and Medicaid incentives through 2021, widespread gaps in readiness throughout the states illustrate the challenges physicians face in meeting the federal schedule for the incentive programs.

Health AffairsMore Than Four In Five Office-Based Physicians Could Qualify For Federal Electronic Health Record Incentives
26 Citations2011Brian K. Bruen, Leighton Ku +2 more
Analysis of federal survey data shows that more than four in five office-based physicians could qualify for new federal incentive payments to encourage the adoption and "meaningful use" of electronic health records, based on the numbers of Medicare or Medicaid patients they see, and indicates eligibility is likely to vary by specialty.
