AB  - Data from the National Electronic Health Records Survey *In 2015, the percentage 
      of physicians who had electronically sent patient health information ranged from 
      19.4% in Idaho to 56.3% in Arizona. *In 2015, the percentage of physicians who 
      had electronically received patient health information ranged from 23.6% in 
      Louisiana and Mississippi to 65.5% in Wisconsin. *In 2015, the percentage of 
      physicians who had electronically integrated patient health information from 
      other providers ranged from 18.4% in Alaska to 49.3% in Delaware. *In 2015, the 
      percentage of physicians who had electronically searched for patient health 
      information ranged from 15.1% in the District of Columbia to 61.2% in Oregon. The 
      Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) 
      provides financial incentives to eligible providers using a certified electronic 
      health record (EHR) system (1,2). In 2015, 77.9% of office-based physicians had a 
      certified EHR system, up from 74.1% in 2014 (3-5). A federal plan to enhance the 
      nation's health information technology infrastructure was published in 2015 to 
      support information sharing (6,7). Therefore, this report uses the 2015 National 
      Electronic Health Records Survey (NEHRS) to describe the extent to which 
      physicians can electronically send, receive, integrate, and search for patient 
      health information.
