Twenty-five percent of surveyed hospital administrators say they are very comfortable with their organization's budget for electronic health record adoption, according to a poll by audit, tax and advisory services firm KPMG.

Forty-eight percent of survey respondents said they are somewhat comfortable with their organization's EHR budget and 9% said they are not at all comfortable with their institution's EHR budget. Eighteen percent of survey respondents said they were unsure.

The poll is based on a survey of more than 220 hospital and health system administrators conducted as part of a May KPMG webcast.
