Do pediatricians lag behind other specialties in electronic heath record adoption? In this study of National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data from 2005-2009, full EHR adoption was highest for internal medicine, family medicine, and pediatrics (9.9 – 11%), but any EHR adoption was lower in pediatrics than the mean adoption rate. In other words, when pediatricians adopt, they tend to implement fully, but they may adopt at a lower rate than other specialties. Grinspan 2013 (Applied Clinical Informatics)
