Title
The Status of EMR Adoption in University Psychology Clinics
Abstract
Based on US healthcare policy there has been a movement toward increased adoption and use of electronic medical records [12, 18]. As Hersh noted in his comment on the 2009 HITECH Act, it is time for U.S. physicians to 'catch up with the pack' [11, p. 327]. The same may be said for university clinics that train future healthcare providers. The paper reports findings from a 2012 survey of Psychology Clinic Directors within doctoral psychology training programs in the United States and Canada, whose clinics were members of the Association of Psychology Training Clinics (APTC). The findings indicate that Clinics are indeed 'catching up with the pack' and identifies significant differences in the perceived concerns and benefits regarding adoption of Clinic adopters, Clinics that plan to adopt, and Clinic non-adopters. Overall, the findings suggest that the Clinics that have adopted EMRs are satisfied with their decision and experience.
