Summary:The way in which physicians interact with data as it pertains to patient care has clearly identified the EHR as a critical tool. The statistics speak for themselves -- approximately 78% of all office-based physicians had an EHR in place as of 2013, according to a recent study in Health Affairs.

You use shortcuts. 4. You engage the portal. 5. You communicate with the vendor regularly.
