The number of hospitals using electronic health records more than doubled in the last two years, rising from 16 percent in 2009 to 35 percent in 2011, according to a new survey conducted by the American Hospital Association and reported by the Office of the National Coordinator. In addition, 85 percent of hospitals surveyed reported that they intend to attest for meaningful use funding by 2015.
Among the other findings:
