摘要：What is already known about this topic? Preventive or follow-up care can improve health outcomes and reduce disease. Missed physician appointments hinder receipt of health care. Electronic reminders can reduce missed appointments. What is added by this report? In 2017, 64.7% of U.S. office-based physicians had computerized capability to identify patients due for preventive or follow-up care. A lower percentage of surgeons and nonprimary care physicians had this capability compared with primary care physicians. A higher percentage of physicians whose practice used an electronic health record system had this capability. What are the implications for public health practice? These findings highlight physician and practice characteristics associated with capability for computerized identification of patients due for preventive or follow-up care which might inform efforts to increase patient follow-up.
