Medicare EHR Incentive Program eligible providers’ stage 2 performance on selected measures of electronic information exchange<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data presented here reflect eligible hospital, Critical Access hospital, and eligible professional reporting on electronic exchange measures as defined for 2014, and indicate that significant progress must be made to reach a patient-centered, fully networked, integrated system of health and health care. When reviewing these data, it is important to consider them in the context of performance in 2014, since reporting requirements for the EHR Incentive Programs change in 2015. These still provide valid baseline data on levels of electronic exchange between providers and patients and other health care providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less than half of care transitions for eligible professionals (38%) and hospitals (34%) include an electronic summary of care. Although the vast majority of patients seen by eligible providers have access to their electronic health information, on average only one-third of stage 2 eligible professional patients have viewed, downloaded, or transmitted their electronic health information, and only 14 percent of stage 2 hospital patients had done the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
