What We’re Reading – Docs need more EHR training, survey suggests

A recent study conducted by AmericanEHR Partners found that physicians need at least three to five days of training to feel comfortable using their electronic health-record system. With two weeks or more of training, the “ease of use” ratings increased. Interestingly, nearly 50% of the surveyed physicians reported receiving three days or less of training on their electronic health-record system. The study also found that physicians reported higher levels of satisfaction when they were involved in selecting the electronic health-record system being used.
