Summary

Smaller providers face a "digital divide" due to lower electronic health record (EHR) adoption rates. Closing this gap is crucial for their survival and requires collaboration among providers, payers, and government.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Healthcare Management
  • Digital Health Equity

Background:

  • Electronic Health Record (EHR) adoption varies significantly across healthcare provider types.
  • A disparity exists between large healthcare systems and smaller or rural practices regarding EHR implementation.
  • This disparity creates a
  • digital divide
  • impacting healthcare access and provider sustainability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical issue of the EHR digital divide affecting smaller and rural healthcare providers.
  • To underscore the potential threat to the viability of these smaller practices.
  • To advocate for solutions that address this inequity.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of current healthcare provider adoption trends.
