According to a report published by AmericanEHR Partners, 61% of respondents in 2010 said they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their electronic health records (EHRs), compared with just 34% in 2014. Additionally, close to half of all respondents reported a negative response to questions related to costs, efficiency, and productivity. SHM’s IT Committee would like to obtain your insight on the EHR within your institution. The findings from the survey will be released in a white paper on how the current state of EHRs affects the quality of patient care and the professional satisfaction of hospitalists.

Please take a few minutes to offer your feedback at www.hospitalmedicine.org/ITEHR.
