CPOE<br />

Key: CPOE = computerized provider order entry.<br />

Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, <strong>National</strong> Center for <strong>Health</strong> Statistics, <strong>National</strong> Home <strong>Health</strong> and Hospice Care<br />

Survey, 2009.<br />

Note: Government agencies include city, county, State, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other Federal agencies. Data were<br />

statistically unreliable for clinical decision support systems that were located in the West and agencies that were government owned<br />

as well as for CPOE used by for-profit agencies, government-owned agencies, and agencies located in the Northeast and the West.<br />

Overall Computerized System Adoption<br />

n In 2007, agencies in the Midwest had a significantly higher overall percentage of providers of home<br />

health or hospice care with EHRs than agencies in the South and the West (Figure 8.2).<br />

n In 2007, for-profit providers of home health or hospice care had a significantly lower overall<br />

percentage of EHRs than private, not-for-profit and government providers.<br />

Patient Demographics<br />

n In 2007, of those organizations with an EHR system, nearly all providers of home health or hospice<br />

care in each region had EHRs that used a component for patient demographics.<br />

n All government providers of home health or hospice care had an EHR system with a patient<br />

demographics component. Nearly all agencies that were private, not for profit and agencies that were<br />

for profit had EHRs with a component for patient demographics.<br />
