FACTOID

A study which used survey data from a large Electronic Health Record (EHR) pilot to project five-year returns on EHR investment, found that the average physician would lose $43,743 over five years; only 27% of practices would have achieved a positive return on investment; and an additional 14% of practices would have come out ahead had they received the $44,000 federal meaningful-use incentive.
