Our current research focuses on the challenges facing our industry:

• Physician adoption of EMR/EHR in ambulatory care

• Measuring confidence and knowledge among end-users adopting new technology (See our client research articles)

• Developing a model for speeding the rate of adoption and sustainability of new technology

 

Physician Adoption Research

Research question: What is the difference between the organizations’ standards for adoption of the EMR and actual use of the EMR?

Expected outcomes:

• Adoption dashboard - the gap between prescribed adoption and actual adoption in an organization

• Use of modeling to determine the most important contributors to adoption

• Reports to identify metrics most critical to adoption

• Best places for the organization to focus on improving adoption
