Evaluating the implementation of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Systems from the Perspective of Health Professional

Abstract

In health informatics, the "updated DeLone andMcLean IS Success Model" is reviewed as a mature model in measuring health information system (HIS) success. This research provided an evaluation model to estimate the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems from a health professional perspective by combined the updated DeLone and McLean IS success model, data quality management model, and EMR systems safety attributes. Based on evidence-based management (EBM), this research could be regarded as an empirical example for further EMR systems research since it not only provided a model to measure the Taiwanese EMR systems in two hospitals by implementing a structure instrument and Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) of quantitative methods, but also introduced how to identify the possible effects in such evaluation research.
