Physicians More Likely To Report Drug Safety Information Through EHR

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Here is a survey conducted by Pfizer regarding primary physicians and how likely they are willing to report drug safety information through EHR.

Of the 300 physicians surveyed, two-thirds utilized some form of an EHR system and one-third used a paper-based system. Half of all respondents and 60 percent of fully-functional EHR users reported that they would be much more likely to submit information about adverse events using an EHR system. Of those still using paper-based systems, 80 percent cited cost as a deterrent to investing in an EHR system.

Plus one for EHR implementation even though the true cost of implementing an EHR is still largely unknown.
