About this Study.
To help inform the Commonwealth’s efforts supporting the adoption of health information technology, the Massachusetts eHealth Institute at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MeHI) is completing a Provider and Consumer Research study. This study is designed to provide comprehensive information on the use, needs and attitudes toward health information technology among Massachusetts health care providers and consumers. As a part of the study, we are conducting a survey among providers in Massachusetts.
This research study will help us identify particular challenges with health IT adoption in the state and inform us as to providers’ knowledge and concerns.
