Only about a quarter of ambulatory providers feel meaningful use is positively impacting the quality of patient care, according to a new survey from KLAS.
The majority (55 percent) of the 158 providers surveyed said meaningful use hadn't had any impact on care quality, and 16 percent said the program had negatively affected patient care.
"The vast majority of providers were vocal about their feelings surrounding meaningful use not yet realizing its objective of positively impacting patient care," said report author Erik Bermudez. "A common sentiment we heard from providers is that so far, the meaningful use program has mostly missed the mark."
