*Percentage of electronic prescriptions=(total electronic prescriptions/total prescriptions)×100=% cumulative implementation grade (>25%).
†Users with electronic prescriptions: users with at least one electronic prescription.
‡Percentage of users with electronic prescriptions=(users with electronic prescriptions/total users)×100.
Results were calculated from global cumulative data in each BHA.
