These calculations only include active (not closed, etc.) short term general, critical access, and children's hospitals, and exclude non-acute care facilities. These numbers represent all hospitals eligible to participate in the CMS EHR Incentive Programs.

As of 2016, over 95 percent of all eligible and Critical Access hospitals have demonstrated meaningful use of certified health IT through participation in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs.

Over 98 percent of all hospitals and 97 percent of Critical Access and small rural hospitals have demonstrated meaningful use and/or adopted, implemented or upgraded (AIU) any EHR. Participation includes both the demonstration of meaningful use through the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, as well as payments for adopt, implement or upgrade through the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program.

See Quick Stat #44 for office-based physician, nurse practitioner, and physician assistant participation data.
