About 60% of physicians working in small- or medium-sized practices say that technology has made their work easier, according to a survey by Practice Fusion, a vendor of electronic health record systems, Healthcare IT News reports.
Practice Fusion conducted its second annual State of the Small Practice survey by distributing an online poll to 1,000 medical practices through the Practice Fusion platform.
The survey found that:
- 38% of respondents said that the computers in their practice are more than three years old, down from the 73% who said so in last year's survey;
- 36% of respondents said that the computers in their practice are between one and three years old; and
- 26% of respondents said that the computers in their practice are less than one year old (Miliard, Healthcare IT News, 1/24).
