A growing number of primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialist doctors are using EMR( electronic medical records) and other technologies as they adopt health information technology to streamline their workflow processes, a new study shows.

The survey, conducted by Knowledge Networks in conjunction with the Physicians Consulting Network (PCN) and its panel of specialists and other health care professionals, shows that 52 percent of specialists and 50 percent of PCPs said they are already keeping their patient records in an electronic format — up 10 percentage points for specialists and 12 points for PCPs since 2008.
