“…Additionally, it is representing that the number of physicians of the current study coincides with the previously published articles focusing on physicians' intention to adopt health care IT or IS. 77,[84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94] Moreover, to give an indication of the representatives of the study sample, the personality traits, gender, and clinical specialty, of the current study sample were compared with the nationwide sample of Taiwan. According to the Taiwan Medical Association report in 2011, the proportion of total male physicians in Taiwan was 83.7%.…”

Background The use of electronic medical record (EMR) is anticipated to bring benefits for patients, physicians, and organizations. But limited physicians' acceptance of EMR presents a serious threat to its effective implementation. Objectives The current study incorporates technology acceptance model (TAM) with two antecedents, gender, and clinical specialty and one context-specific factor, financial incentives, to identify the factors that influence physicians' intention to use EMR in Taiwan. Methods The survey methodology was used to collect data from the physicians, working in the regional hospital that had implemented EMR system. A total of 119 out of 213 questionnaires returned in a response rate of 56%. But four responses were considered ineffective due to missing values. The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed to analyze the research framework. Results The partial least squares (PLS) regression indicated that three factors perceived usefulness, financial incentives, and attitude toward using EMR significantly affect physicians' intention. But concerning perceived ease of use (PEOU), an insignificant path coefficient was reported. Additionally, regression analysis showed gender, and clinical specialty positively influenced physicians' intention to use EMR. Discussion and Conclusions The proposed research framework contributes to the conclusive explanation for interpreting physicians' intention to use EMR. Physicians generally have a higher level of computer literacy. Therefore, the factor of PEOU could not be critical regarding adopting new health information technology (HIT). This study also brings perspectives from the gender, and clinical differences have primarily been missing in the literature of the physicians' intention to use HIT. In doing so, it infers how gender, and clinical specialty, may complement (and in some instances, reinforce) the influence of technological and attitudinal factors of HIT use. Thus, health care providers must take these factors into consideration in the development and validation of the theories regarding the intention to use EMR.

“…A significant barrier to the adoption of EMR systems is the absence of adequate technical training and assistance, which is particularly evident in the subcategories of the technical component (Abramson et al, 2014;Singh & Muthuswamy, 2013;Or et al, 2018;Jamoom et al, 2014;Hamamura et al, 2017). This is mostly attributed to the fast advancement of health information technology, which enables the introduction of novel applications without any previous experience (Williams et al, 2017;Lakbala et al, 2014;Reganti et al, 2013).…”

“…Moreover, another technological challenge is the absence of flexibility in customization. Several studies have shown that doctors are reluctant to embrace electronic medical record (EMR) systems due to their failure to fulfil their particular requirements Lakbala et al, 2014;Hooper et al, 2010). EMR system developers need to exert more effort in enhancing customizability to boost healthcare providers' inclination to use the system.…”

The electronic medical record system is an essential instrument for enhancing healthcare by supporting improvements in patient care quality, patient safety, and cost savings via convenient access to medical data. Nevertheless, healthcare professionals' hesitant acceptance of the concept is accompanied by significant caution to guarantee its execution. The objective of this research was to ascertain the primary barriers to the adoption of the electronic medical record system as seen by doctors and nurses. A scoping study was conducted on scientific literature accessible in Pubmed, Scopus, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar to investigate the barriers to the acceptability of EMR systems. The scoping review included research that examined barriers to the use of the electronic medical record system by healthcare professionals. There are seven distinct categories of hurdles that have been identified: i. Technical ii. Financial iii. Time iv. Legal v. Organizational vi. Psychological, and vii. Social. The barriers most often cited were of a technical, financial, temporal, and legal nature. Furthermore, we also identified obstacles of an organizational, psychological, and social nature. The findings presented in this research may serve as a framework for the challenges that health professionals may encounter throughout the deployment process of the EMR system.

“…In addition, in create modules on training such as to use the applications because of illiterate of computer knowledge, the costs maintaining servers and software updates must be considered [23]. Lakbala, Lakbala and Inaloo [24] stated staff might hesitant to use EMR for a few reasons. Good plans for extensive training to use EMR are essential to prevent the lack of training.…”

A collection of facts about a patient's life and health history of past and present illnesses and treatments is known as medical records. The health professionals were contributing to record the patient's care. The responsibility in managing daily records that produced by each of department is by the Medical Records Department. It is a department under clinical support services with activities including managing of patient records, patient information production, management of medical reports, and hospital statistics. This article aims to discuss the challenge associated with managing medical records in the organization and how to handle and manage it with the records management as a tool to mitigate risk. Therefore, it is likely to prompt further research by addressing existing gaps towards improving service delivery that can contribute to the body of knowledge in the field of records management and archives generally.
