Dependent variable
Percentage of visits with allergy information entered into a structured field, coefficient p- value Percentage of visits with medication reviewed, coefficient p- value Percentage of visits with BP entered, coefficient p- value Percentage of visits with a prescription generated and prescription was e-prescribed, coefficient p- value
Comfort with Computers Score 1.49 0.35 0.09 0.95 1.11 0.40 1.56 0.19
Positive attitudes about EHRs Score −1.09 0.44 −0.56 0.70 0.57 0.64 0.98 0.39
Negative about EHRs attitudes Score −0.69 0.55 −0.11 0.92 0.50 0.56 0.93 0.37

Note: Coefficient is the association between a one standard deviation increase in each scale score and the dependent variable. All models controlled for provider characteristics (workload, provider type, specialty, gender, years in practice) and the quarter-year in which the practice started using the EHR.
