Clinician characteristics and use of novel electronic health record functionality in primary care

Conventional wisdom holds that older, busier clinicians who see complex patients are less likely to adopt and use novel electronic health record (EHR) functionality. To compare the characteristics of clinicians who did and did not use novel EHR functionality, we conducted a retrospective analysis of...
