For their study, researchers mailed a survey to randomly selected physicians from the Physician Masterfile of the American Medical Association. Results showed that less than 2 percent of solo practitioners or two-physician practices have a fully functional EHR and five percent have a basic EHR. Comparatively, 13 percent of large physician practices (11 physicians or more) have a fully functional EHR and 26 percent have a basic EHR. Smaller practices were also more likely to report financial challenges than larger practices.
