A new study finds that routine use of electronic health records may improve the quality of care provided in community-based primary care practices more than other common strategies intended to raise the quality of medical care. The study, which examined 305 primary care practices in Massachusetts, is one of the first to demonstrate a link between use of electronic health records in community-based medical practices and higher quality care.
