3 Electronic Health Records: Special Obstetrics/ Edition Introduction To better understand the current state of EHR use by physicians, MGMA-ACMPE undertook a study in to explore the barriers to EHR adoption and the experiences of healthcare organizations that have progressed through the implementation process and optimized use of their EHRs. This study was funded by PNC Bank. We have taken this data and further compiled it by specialty. The following tables focus on the optimization of EHR in obstetrics/gynecology practices. To get the most out of these specialty tables, we recommend that you also download the free original report, Electronic Health Records: Status, Needs and Lessons.
