Rural California Health Care Providers Slow To Adopt EHRs
A recent study found that small, nonteaching and rural hospitals lag behind urban hospitals in adopting electronic health records. In California, only about half of the state's 293 designated rural health centers have implemented or are in the process of implementing an EHR system, according to a California HealthCare Foundation report.
