Background: It is widely recognized that the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) has the potential to become the core electronic information and communication system in the health care sector. Implementation of an EMR system increases efficiency and quality of health services, and Users satisfaction. Successful implementation depends on many factors, one of which is how users respond to the new system. Yet no evaluation studies have been on EMR implementation effectiveness at in Ethiopia. To evaluate the EMR implementation effectiveness in Ayder Referral Hospital. Methods:A cross sectional study design was used to assess the availability, use, and usability performance and users satisfaction level of an EMR system implemented at Ayder Referral Hospital. A sample size of 271 was calculated and simple random sampling technique was employed. Data was collected using structured, self-administered questionnaire. The Collected data was entering to SPSS version 20 and clean. Result:The majority of the participants were nurses (64%) and physicians (27%). Availability of computer with EMR installed was (91.8%), and 90.2% of respondents having good typing ability and they were inputting patient data easily. Regarding utilization of the system (94.9%) of respondents use the system daily. The usefulness of the system to obtain the result from clinical laboratory and Follow the result of particular Test was (87.5% and 86.3% respectively). The overall level of utilization dimension was 87.6%. The user satisfactions with four sub-dimension of the system like with context (66.8%), with usefulness (65.6%), with ease of learn (62.6%) and with ease of use (67.4%) of the system. Then, (65.6%) of the total respondents satisfied with overall of the system. The results of overall EMR implementation effectiveness were 73.5% which is rated as good. Conclusion:Utilization rate was high and more than half of the respondents were satisfied with the overall of using the system. At the end the overall effectiveness of EMR implementation was good. There should be improving the lower dimensions such as available more computers in all sites, users support and arrange refreshment training.

“…The questionnaire was developed by the researcher, guided by a review of related literature and survey instruments to assess levels of satisfaction with and perceived barriers to the EHR implementation identified in the literature . Multiple instruments were found in the literature and reviewed for content (domains and items).…”

“…The diffusion of change from paper‐based to electronic methods presents challenges, as suggested by Rogers's diffusion of change theory . Commonly documented barriers to EHR acceptance include its perceived lack of value for patients, fear and resistance, additional time spent on documentation, related cost of the system, lack of usefulness for patients' and providers' autonomy, inadequate computer skills, fear of system failure (hardware and software problems), lack of formal training, workload and the slowness of system in some units . Hence, the effect of such barriers to the implementation and acceptance of EHRs needs to be explored, because the resultant knowledge has the capacity to influence their meaningful use in clinical practice, and in turn, more successful health‐care service planning and operation.…”

The integration of electronic health records (EHRs) has shown promise in improving health-care quality. In the United Arab Emirates, EHRs have been recently adopted to improve the quality and safety of patient care. A cross-sectional survey of 680 health-care providers (HCPs) was conducted to assess the satisfaction of HCPs in the United Arab Emirates with EHRs' impact on access/viewing, documentation and medication administration and to explore the barriers encountered in their use. Data were collected over 6 months from April to September 2014. High overall satisfaction with EHRs was reported by HCPs, suggesting their acceptance. Physicians reported the greatest overall satisfaction with EHRs, although nurses showed significantly higher satisfaction with the impact on medication administration compared with other HCPs. The most significant barriers reported by nurses were lack of belief in the value of EHRs for patients and lack of adequate computer skills. Given the large investment in technology, additional research is necessary to promote the full utilization of EHRs. Nurses need to be aware of the value of EHRs for patient care and be involved in all stages of EHR implementations to maximize its meaningful use for better clinical outcomes.

“…In Saudi, the adoption of cloud computing in many different organizations is also still low [14]. Some hospitals in Saudi Arabia still use paper-based records system in some of their departments [15,16,17,18]. These findings explain the low and slow adoption of cloud computing in Saudi healthcare industry.…”
