According to a new survey by research company Knowledge Networks, the increasing adoption of EHRs and other digital technologies by primary care physicians and specialists points to trends expected to create "dramatic upswings in doctors' case loads." The survey of nearly 11,000 healthcare professionals was conducted using Mt. Arlington, N.J.-based Physicians Consulting Network (PCN), a physician panel of specialists and other healthcare professionals.
According to the survey, 52% of specialists and and 50% of PCPs are already keeping their patient records in an electronic format - up 10 percentage points for specialists and 12 points for PCPs since 2008. These "early adopter" levels suggest a desire for digital convenience at a time when patient record keeping promises to become exponentially more complex.

With meaningful use of EHR a top priority and patient records becoming more complex, the race is on to get your EHR to market.
