The research group’s study found family physicians are nearly as satisfied with their EHR systems as internal medicine physicians. Oncologists and ophthalmologists are least excited about using EHR, with a rating of 5.8 out of 9. Internal medicine physicians rated their satisfaction at an average of 7.6 out of 9.

In a press release, KLAS research director Mark Wagner said vendors are striving to meet providers’ needs and reach the “specialty EMR promised land” by offering a solution that provides the fewest gaps with the best support for the broadest number of specialties.
