    • Patients are generally open to the adoption of EHR.
    • Key patient concerns include the need for privacy protection.
    • Patients emphasized the importance of safeguarding EHR systems against unauthorized access.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient acceptance of EHR is contingent on robust privacy and security measures.
    • Healthcare system design must address patient concerns to foster trust.
    • Societal trends show a willingness to adopt technology when privacy is assured.
