Abstract
This research-in-progress investigates EHR adoption in small primary care practices. By surveying 19 small physician offices, the preliminary findings suggest that small practices who have adopted EHRs perceive substantial benefits in ensuring that patients benefit from the quality care. The findings also imply that more small practices need to be reached out and small practices physicians be assisted on adoption and use of EHRs. Future research plan is presented. The study intends to help the Health Information Technology Regional Extension Centers to identify and share best practices in EHR adoption, effective use, and provider support.
