The study found a growing gap in EHR adoption and use between physicians who are 45 or younger and physicians who are 55 or older. Midsize and large practices were found to acquire EHRs at a faster rate than small practices consisting of one or two providers. There was, however, a significant jump in the number of smaller practices implementing EHRs between 2010 and 2011 — possibly the result of the incentives for Meaningful Use of EHRs, according to study coauthor Jane Sisk of the Institute of Medicine.
