Introduction
The authors study the differences in individual physicians' Electronic Health Record(EHR) use patterns and identify perceptions of uncertainty as an important new variable in understanding EHR use. [1]
Abstract
This study was done by interviews and direct observation of Physicians. Area the study preformed was in an outpatient care organization.
Measurement
- Primary care physicians
- Sub-specialists - endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, rheumatologists, neurologists, and podiatrists.
- Spent 4 weeks in each practice interviewing and observing physicians during normal work activities
HealthGroup implemented its EHR 7 years prior to data collection.
Results
Physicians' perceptions of uncertainty
- Uncertain reduction
- Uncertain adoption
- Uncertain Hybrid
Conclusions
This study contributes new understanding of the differences in how individual physicians use an EHR.
- Findings
- how they perceive uncertainty
- how they view the role of information in managing uncertainty as they care for patients
- evidence linking individual physicians' perceptions of uncertainty with their EHR use patterns.
- Implications
- health IT design
- Implementation initiatives
