As part of a broader survey of 1,300 physicians covering digital health tools, the SMART Health IT Project and the American Medical Association collaborated on a set of questions to better understand how providers wish to discover, evaluate and purchase apps that connect with their EHR system.

One important finding for app creators is that 81% of physicians ranked integration with their EHR as a very important or important requirement for digital health tools. Additionally, more than half of the physicians indicated that they are extremely likely or very likely to purchase apps that extend their EHR system’s capabilities and securely integrate into the EHR workflow.
