2. Almost half — 46.1 percent — indicated EHR usage is causing their practice to see fewer patients each day.

3. Fifty-nine percent said their EHR has improved documentation processes.

4. Seventy-eight percent of respondents said they use a mobile device to access their EHR.

This year’s Technology Survey was part of Physicians Practice‘s first-ever Tech Report.
