For the study, researchers polled 1,820 primary care physicians and specialists in office-based practices. The national survey was conducted from late 2011 through early 2012.
The survey also found that fewer than one half of respondents reported the presence of computerized systems for any of the patient population management tasks included in the survey, and physicians who did use these computerized systems reported that the ease-of-use varies from system to system.
