ObjectivesObjectives
•Examine progress in use of electronic medical record (EMR) systems among office-based physicians since 2001. •Focus on changes in use between 2005 and 2006•Examine plans to install new EMR system or replace current system within the next 3 years
National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey
•Annual nationally-representative surveys of office-based physicians
•3,350 in 2006•Scope: Nonfederal office-based physicians excluding radiologists, anesthesiologists, and pathologists•Face-to-face induction interview•Response rates for data presented ~64%•NAMCS estimates based on
•1,311 physician responses in 2006

ConclusionsConclusions
• Use of electronic medical records between 2001 Use of electronic medical records between 2001 and 2006 increased by 60% among office-based and 2006 increased by 60% among office-based physicians.physicians.
• Measurement of EMR systems by included Measurement of EMR systems by included functionalities started in 2005. Based on functionalities started in 2005. Based on presence of four key features, only 1 in 10 presence of four key features, only 1 in 10 office-based physicians used minimally office-based physicians used minimally functional EMR systems during 2005-2006functional EMR systems during 2005-2006
ConclusionsConclusions
• In 2006, 35-43% of physicians not currently using a In 2006, 35-43% of physicians not currently using a minimally functional EMR system planned to install or minimally functional EMR system planned to install or
replace their current system within the next three yearsreplace their current system within the next three years; ; an additional 12-17% of physicians considered doing soan additional 12-17% of physicians considered doing so. .
• Based on physician report of plans to install or replace Based on physician report of plans to install or replace current EMR systems, EMR use in 2009 may increase to current EMR systems, EMR use in 2009 may increase to 42%, at a minimum, or 54% at a maximum.42%, at a minimum, or 54% at a maximum.
• These projections are consistent with diffusion theory These projections are consistent with diffusion theory projections (Ford, Menachemi, Phillips, 2006). projections (Ford, Menachemi, Phillips, 2006).
Policy implicationsPolicy implications
• Based on our study-based and diffusion theory Based on our study-based and diffusion theory projections, electronic health record (EHR) use projections, electronic health record (EHR) use by office-based physicians will fall short of the by office-based physicians will fall short of the federal goal of widespread use by 2014.federal goal of widespread use by 2014.
• Continued efforts by the Office of National Continued efforts by the Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology Coordinator for Health Information Technology and other organizations are needed to promote and other organizations are needed to promote universal adoption of functional EMR systems. universal adoption of functional EMR systems.
