The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has released its latest EMR User Satisfaction survey:
The 422 respondents reported on a total of 61 different EHR systems, the majority of which were reported by three or fewer respondents; on the other hand, the 13 systems most commonly mentioned, each reported by 12 or more respondents, accounted for 80 percent (336) of the responses. In the analysis below, we report system-specific results for these 13 commonly reported systems, using pooled data from all 422 respondents as a point of reference against which to view the system-specific results. We chose to focus on these 13 systems because we believed that we had enough responses on each to represent a reasonable spread of opinions on the system.
The survey did not specifically call out the version numbers of the recommended products, but a number of the products mentioned have a CCHIT Certified version available.
Products making the cut include (when in specific product names are in question, the latest version of the CCHIT Certified product is listed):
- Centricity (formerly Logician)
- Cerner PowerChart Office
- eClinicalWorks EMR
- e-MDs Chart (e-MDs Solution Series 6.1.2, et al.)
- EpicCare
- HealthMatics EMR
- Misys EMR
- NextGen EMR
- Practice Partner Patient Records (Practice Partner 9.2.2, et al.)
