Based upon over 2,000 surveys of Ontario physicians completed by OntarioMD since 2008, the following data was published Nov 17, 2010.

Key findings:

Latest survey results for 2010 indicate that:

• 90% are using EMRs regularly to write and renew prescriptions;
• 90% are regularly receiving and managing lab results electronically, up from 82% in 2008;
• 92% are using their EMRs to enter their encounter notes, eliminating the need for paper records;
• 73% felt they were primarily paperless, up from 60% in 2008.

A key concern with physicians adopting an EMR is how it will affect their practice especially their productivity and revenues.

• In 2010, 84% of physicians reported improved or the same revenues, up from 74% in 2008;
• In 2010, 79% reported improved or the same productivity, up from 62% in 2008.
