Linking national survey data on electronic health record (EHR) adoption with administrative performance data offers substantial analytic value. NEHRS provides nationally representative information on physician EHR capabilities, interoperability, and health information exchange practices, while the QPP dataset contains clinician-level performance information related to quality measurement, payment incentives, and program participation. By combining these data sources, researchers can explore the relationships between EHR adoption, interoperability, and clinician performance under federal payment programs. Please consult a statistician when using NEHRS physician-level analysis weight for producing nationally representative estimates.
