Physicians And Ambulatory Electronic Health Records
Abstract
Few U.S. physicians use outpatient electronic health records (EHRs), although it appears that most would like to begin. The main barriers are not technical, because adoption rates in other countries are high. The biggest barrier is reimbursement, because physicians must pay for EHRs, but most of the benefits accrue to payers and purchasers. The lack of interoperability is also pivotal. Others include capital and risk tolerance; physicians' resistance related to time concerns, fears about privacy, system maintenance, the number of vendors in the marketplace, and the transience of vendors. The key initial policy changes will be those addressing financial incentives and interoperability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
