The purpose of this study is to collect information on office-based physicians’ adoption and use of EHR systems, practice information, patient engagement, controlled substances prescribing practices, use of HIE, and the documentation and burden associated with medical record systems (which include both paper-based and EHR systems). The requested changes include the addition of COVID-19 related questions as well as a few other minor edits. The annualized burden has been reduced from 5,151 to 3,434 hours.
