Hospitals receiving incentive payments were more likely to be urban, larger, Joint Commission-accredited teaching hospitals with a single health IT vendor that were full or comprehensive EHR adopters in 2010. Hospitals without an EHR in 2010 were significantly less likely to receive MU payments. Hospital Medicare share of inpatient days was positively associated with receiving MU payments for those hospitals in the upper third quartile. In bivariate analyses, hospitals located in the Mountain and Pacific census divisions were less likely to have received MU payments, and hospitals in the East North Central, New England, and South Atlantic census divisions were more likely to have received payments. R E S U LT S The final sample consisted of 4,683 nonfederal acute care hospitals, with 1,769 (38%) of these having received Medicare MU incentive payments as of December 2012. Of the hospitals in our sample, 2,877 (61%) provided information on their EHR status in the Annual Survey and 2,959 (63%) provided information on their EHR status in the EHR Adoption Database. Table 1 presents the characteristics of the 4,683 hospitals that did and did not receive Medicare MU incentive payments.
