OCTOBER 19, 2015 – Modern electronic health records (EHRs) have become the norm in U.S. health care — nearly 80 percent of office-based physicians use them, up from 40 percent in 2009, according to federal data. But while adoption is up, satisfaction has plummeted. In 2010, about 61 percent of physicians liked their EHRs (were satisfied or very satisfied, according to periodic AMA surveys). This dropped to 48 percent in 2012, and in 2014 satisfaction rates were only 34%. Physicians have come to loathe their EHR systems.
