To gauge the extent of IT use among hospitals and better understand the barriers to further adoption, the American Hospital Association (AHA) surveyed hospitals in April 2005. The AHA wanted to know where the field is currently, where it is planning to go, and what kinds of measures could help speed adoption. The survey asked about use of specific kinds of IT, financing of IT systems, barriers to greater use, and involvement in arrangements to share clinical information. More than 900 community hospitals – about 19.2 percent of all community hospitals – responded to the survey. This sample fairly represents all hospitals by size, location and teaching status.
