800 AHLTA users from the Army, Navy and Air Force completed a satisfaction survey that was conducted during the summer of 2007. 459 providers responded. Overall satisfaction was below average. Here is a breakdown of the provider results:

Above Average:

• Access to Information as Compared with Pre-AHLTA availability

Below Average:

• Time Required to Document My Portion of the Patient Encounter
• Overall Ease of Using the System
• Productivity Impacts after Training Completed
• Patient Interaction

In summary, AHLTA is helpful because it creates a world-wide electronic medical record. However providers feel that it is difficult to use increasing the time required for documentation. As it result, it decreases productivity and the amount of time doctors can spend with patients.
