To assess physician attitudes on ease of use of electronic health record (EHR) functionalities related to "Meaningful Use" (MU) and whether perceived ease of use was associated with EHR characteristics, including meeting MU criteria, technical assistance from EHR vendors or regional extension centers, and the amount of clinical staff training.
A cross sectional analysis of the 2011 Physician Workflow study, nationally representative of US office-based physicians.
Cross-sectional data were used to examine physician attitudes on ease of use of 14 EHR functionalities related to MU, among physicians with any EHR system.
For 11 of the 14 EHR functions examined, physicians with EHRs that met MU criteria were significantly more likely than physicians that also utilized EHR systems to report that EHR functions were easy to use. For 8 of the functions examined, physicians receiving technical assistance from a vendor or regional extension center were significantly more likely to report that the EHR function was easy to use.
Our study of a nationally representative survey of office-based physicians found that physicians' adoption and perceived ease of use of EHR functionalities related to MU was generally high.
评估医生对与“有意义使用”（MU）相关的电子健康记录（EHR）功能易用性的态度，以及感知易用性是否与EHR特征相关，包括符合MU标准、来自EHR供应商或区域推广中心的技术支持，以及临床工作人员培训的数量。
对2011年医生工作流程研究进行横断面分析，该研究在美国具有全国代表性，涵盖基于办公室的医生。
横断面数据用于检查拥有任何EHR系统的医生对与MU相关的14项EHR功能易用性的态度。
在所检查的14项EHR功能中的11项中，拥有符合MU标准的EHR的医生比同样使用EHR系统的医生更有可能报告EHR功能易于使用。在所检查的8项功能中，接受供应商或区域推广中心技术支持的医生更有可能报告EHR功能易于使用。
我们对具有全国代表性的基于办公室的医生进行的调查研究发现，医生对与MU相关的EHR功能的采用率和感知易用性普遍较高。
