Data Brief: Physician Perspectives on Access to Patient Data

What types of actionable patient intelligence are most important to physicians today? In October 2017, Surescripts commissioned a survey of 300 U.S. physicians to gather insights on their access to and need for patient data. We wanted to understand where they get data, which sources they trust and what data they find most valuable.

Key Findings

• Half of Physicians Say Data Access Could Be Much Better
• The Biggest Data Gap: Medication Adherence
• Price Transparency Aids Prescribing Decisions
• Lack of Patient History Data Impedes Care Coordination
