EMR adoption levels are often lowest in states with strong data-privacy regulations, researchers say. The study looked at EMR usage in 19 states over a 10-year period. Privacy advocates slam the study, saying it’s “preposterous” Suggesting that privacy rules could stall EMR rollouts is “preventionous,” says one of the study’s authors. The report was released last week. It suggests that a trade-off has to be made between boosting EMR use and strengthening privacy laws.”]
