The HITECH Act builds on existing federal efforts to encourage health IT adoption and use, and contains provisions that are expected to promote the widespread adoption of health IT among health care providers. Health IT experts agree that HITECH stimulus funds are likely to improve how physicians practice medicine for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries and, ultimately, for advancing patientcentered medical care for all Americans. However, there is an evidence gap about patients’ preferences and perceptions of delivery of health care services by providers who have adopted EHR systems in their practices. The goal of the Patient Perceptions of the Delivery of Health Care through the Use of an Electronic Health Record (Patient Perceptions of EHR) Study is to help policymakers understand how primary care practices’ use of electronic health records (EHRs) affects consumers’ satisfaction with (1) their medical care, (2) communication with their doctor, and (3) coordination of care. The research questions for the proposed Patient Perceptions of EHR Study are motivated by a concern that patients may have negative experiences as practices begin to use EHRs. information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.
