Description:This material provides documentation for users of the public use micro-data file for the 2018 National Electronic Health Records Survey (NEHRS). This is the first NEHRS public use file (PUF). The purpose of NEHRS is to collect information on both office-based physicians’ adoption and use of electronic health record (EHR) systems and progress towards meeting the policy goals of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act). The 2018 NEHRS collects information on practice characteristics, patient engagement, prescribing practices for controlled substances, use of health information exchanges, and the documentation and burden associated with medical record systems. NEHRS is sponsored by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). NEHRS is conducted by the Division of Health Care Statistics (DHCS), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Additional information about the history of NEHRS is available here.
The NEHRS public use file includes data from office-based physicians. No patient level data were collected. This documentation describes the PUF produced from data collected in NEHRS.NEHRS-2018Doc-508.pdf
