Forty-six percent of respondents said they believe that most U.S. hospitals will use electronic health records within 10 years, while 31% of respondents predicted that the majority of U.S. hospitals will use EHRs within five years, according to a new survey by health care technology firm Picis.
Fifteen percent of respondents said most U.S. hospitals will use EHRs within 15 years, while 8% said it will be 20 years before most hospitals use EHRs.
The survey also found that nearly 90% of respondents said they believe that EHRs are going to "revolutionize" the health care system.
More than 55% of respondents said patients would be more likely to want to visit a hospital that has an EHR system, while about 3% said patients would be less likely to want to visit a hospital with an EHR system, according to the survey. About 42% of respondents said an EHR system would not make a difference in whether patients wanted to visit a hospital.
Results are based on a June survey of 325 physicians, nurses, IT technicians and hospital administrators.
