  • Medical Management
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Electronic Medical Records (EMR) implementation necessitates significant workflow adjustments for healthcare professionals.
  • Physician and staff acceptance is crucial for successful EMR adoption, yet resistance is common.
  • Existing research indicates a gap in physician embrace of EMR technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key attitudes and factors influencing EMR implementation success.
  • To provide empirical support for a model of perceived EMR usefulness.
  • To assess end-user attitudes as part of strategic EMR planning.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an integrative framework from job design and management information sciences.
  • Developed and empirically tested a conceptual model of end-user acceptance of EMR.

  • Assessed factors including computer experience, computer anxiety, and perceived organizational support.

    • Main Results:

    • Computer experience, computer anxiety, and perceptions of organizational support predict positive physician and mid-level practitioner attitudes toward EMR.
    • These factors are key predictors of the perceived usefulness of EMR systems.
    • The study provides empirical validation for the proposed model of EMR acceptance.

    Conclusions:

    • Successful EMR implementation hinges on addressing physician and staff attitudes.
    • Strategies should focus on pre-implementation computer engagement and robust organizational support.
    • Assessing and managing end-user perceptions is vital for EMR adoption and effective healthcare delivery.
