P374: Overall experience and satisfaction of genetic clinicians with electronic health records (EHR)

Electronic health records (EHR) adoption has increased significantly in the last decade. In 2011, 28% of non-federal acute care hospitals and 34% of office-based physicians utilized a certified EHR, increasing to 96% and 78%, respectively, by 2021. This increase was supported by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009 which provided financial incentives to encourage the use of federally certified EHR technologies. While EHRs are now commonly used, studies have shown they have challenges such as increased charting time, reduced clinical care time, and decreased job satisfaction.
