Target Facilities with EHR Vendor Data Vendor name or NONE is populated in vendor 1 data field for 64 of our 124 target facilities Because some facilities utilize multiple EHR vendors, our data table relationship between facility and vendor is not 1:1 7/1/2011 18
EHR Vendor Query Results For 64 facilities with vendor data, Figure 3 shows how many of the 64 target facilities specified particular EHR vendors: Facility EHR Vendor Data (n=64) EPIC 24.37% 5. 8% 5. 8% MEDITECH 16.24% 5. 8% 24. 37% CERNER 10.15% 10. 15% NB: Some facilities have more than one EHR vendor. 16. 24% EHR vendor data is incomplete and not validated at this time.
