Meaningful use of the Indian Health Service electronic health record.
This study sought to understand the use of electronic health record (EHR) functionalities by physicians practicing in an underserved setting. Physicians routinely used a median 7 of 10 EHR functionalities targeted by the Meaningful Use program, but only 5 percent used all 10. Most (63 percent) felt the EHR improved quality of care. Many (76 percent) reported increased documentation time and poorer quality patient-physician interactions (45 percent).
