More than half of US hospitals have at least a basic EHR, but stage 2 criteria remain challenging for most.
The investigators used American Hospital Association data to assess progress and challenges in EHR adoption. They found that most hospitals are able to meet many of the stage 2 meaningful-use criteria, but only 5.8 percent of hospitals are able to meet them all.

Adoption and use of electronic health records among federally qualified health centers grew substantially during 2010-12.
The authors examined factors associated with EHR adoption among federally qualified health centers. They found that only one-third of health centers had EHR systems that could meet CMS's stage 1 meaningful-use core requirements, and that health centers that met the stage 1 requirements had more than twice the odds of receiving quality recognition, compared with centers with less than basic EHRs.

Trends in electronic health record system use among office-based physicians: United States, 2007-2012.
The authors used National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) data to present trends in the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) by office-based physicians during 2007-2012. They found that the difference in adoption of a fully functional EHR system between physicians in practices with 11 or more physicians compared with solo practitioners was 10.4 percentage points in 2007; the gap widened to 30.6 percentage points in 2012.
