Objective: It is anticipated that the implementation of electronic medical record systems would improve healthcare infrastructure as well as clinical treatment by making it easier to store and retrieve the medical histories of patients. This study aims to investigate on the attitude of health professionals on electronic health system in developing countries. Methods: The reviewed studies adopted a cross-sectional study design. A systematic review was carried out with the aid of online research journal websites as well as other in-context articles. While conducting this study, the key words in the search query were directed towards the barriers in the attitude of health professionals on electronic health system in developing countries. Areas noted in relation to this study was attitude of health professionals on electronic health system. Therefore, there was linkage of papers pointing out the attitude of health professionals on electronic health system in developing countries. Results: Of the total respondents, 125 (29.6%) did not utilize the EMR system for their everyday job, whereas 240 (56.7%) had a positive outlook on EMR system use, as reported by Yehualashet et al. in 2015. In 2019, Agyenna et al., The study found that the adoption of e-Health systems among health managers and professionals was significantly influenced by institutional factors. Conclusion: The research found that e-Health adoption among healthcare institutions was negatively impacted by most parameters, but moderately impacted by performance expectancy variables and effort expectancy variables.
Objective: Accessing data information of patients has been a challenge for years due to the use of paper recording, some essential data are either lost or mistakenly thrown away and cannot be retrieved. This is a major public health concern to ensure the effective provision of healthcare to patients. The purpose of the study focuses on the barriers to utilizing an electronic health system in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: A systematic review was carried out with the aid of online research journal websites as well as other in-context articles. While conducting this study, the keywords in the search query were directed toward the barriers to the implementation of an electronic health system in Sub-Saharan Africa. Areas noted in relation to this study were the use of electronic health systems among health professionals. Therefore, there was a linkage of papers pointing out the barriers hindering the implementation of the e-health system. Results: According to Kemper and other researchers more than half (58.1%) of the physicians without an electronic medical system doubt that an electronic medical system can improve patient care or clinical outcomes. In Shachak’s research, where this issue was considered, 92% of physicians felt electronic medical system use did disturb communication with their patients. Conclusion: The findings of this study can be used as an overview of barriers that physicians might possibly see in the electronic medical system implementation process and, as such, could be valuable for electronic medical system policymakers and implementers. The study indicates that policymakers should be more aware of the reality that removing technical, financial, and legal barriers is not sufficient to ensure the realization of the promises of electronic medical system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
