60% of consumers who use digital health tools state they have an EHR; however, only 22% of digital healthusers are accessing EHRs to help make medical decisions, according to a March/April HealthMine survey. The survey of 500 insured consumers who use mobile/internet-connected health tools reveals that despite the wide-spread adoption of EHRs, 55% of users simply view them as tools to simply “stay informed.”
Additionally, 29% of those consumers who say they do have an EHR are not getting much benefit from it. On the opposite end, 40% of respondents stated they did not even have an EHR.
