Article Overview
This article reviews survey-based findings on how moving from paper records to electronic health records relates to practice revenue and operating costs. It is aimed at medical practice administrators, revenue cycle professionals, and coding/billing stakeholders who want a high-level view of EHR adoption impacts, the variation by specialty or practice type, and the broader context of an MGMA survey on costs, staffing, and revenue.
