A study of New York providers participating in the Meaningful Use (MU) incentive program found “systematic differences” between early adopters of EHRs and those who did not use EHRs before implementation of the program.
The study, published in Health Affairs , analyzed MU participation among more than 26,000 physicians in New York between 2011 and 2012.
The researchers examined payment data. In 2011, about 80 percent of New York physicians did not participate in MU but the rate increased significantly in 2012.
