The link to the Health Affairs study is correct. The study is based on data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, which collects data on a nationally representative sample of visits to nonfederal office-based U.S. physicians, excluding radiologists, anesthesiologists, and pathologists. --The Editors

A useful link for providers in the throes of implementing and adopting (I&A) EHR is the "Health Data Management Resource Guide Online." The Guide has more than 75 HIT categories from Analytics Software to Wireless Networks.More important to I&A efforts than the destination sites is this aggregation of search keywords / phrases embodied as a list of categories.Search using these keywords will yield cornucopia of applicable results.
