“…On the one hand, it was found that technology can facilitate healthcare workers' academic research, enrich professional knowledge, improve efficiency, and enhance the identity of healthcare workers. This is consistent with previous research findings (Boonstra et al, 2022). On the other hand, over-reliance on technology threatens the identity of healthcare workers which have not been addressed by previous studies.…”

As more and more digital technologies are used in healthcare organizations, the way healthcare workers work and doctor-patient communication are changing. These changes will lead to identity change of healthcare workers. Some scholars try to understand technological changes in terms of the affordance theory. However, there are few relevant studies that incorporate specific application scenarios. In this paper, we explore the specific performance of the digital technology affordance and the impact on healthcare workers' identity in China. We conducted in-depth interviews with 14 healthcare workers and used grounded theory to summarize three kinds of digital technology affordance, namely functional affordance, process affordance and performance affordance. The findings suggest that on the one hand, digital technology affordance increase the efficiency of healthcare workers and enhance collaboration among colleagues, thus reinforcing the healthcare workers' identity. On the other hand, over-reliance on digital technology may also lead to unnecessary hassles that worsen healthcare workers' identity. Our study enriches the affordance theory and identity theory, and has constructive implications for the quality of healthcare services in a digital context.

“…With the use of digital technology in healthcare organizations, the working environment of healthcare workers has changed. Studies have shown that technological change can enhance or threaten the identity of healthcare workers (Boonstra et al, 2022). Identities are not static and can be adjusted as circumstances change.…”

“…The use of electronic health records (EHR) has become commonplace, changing how doctors interact with their patients (Boonstra, Vos, & Rosenberg, 2021). Healthcare organizations around the country have installed electronic medical record (EMR) systems to make it easier to contemporaneously collect patient data, assist inter-and intra-disciplinary team communication, and support clinical decision-making (Jedwab, Manias, Hutchinson, Dobroff, & Redley, 2022)..…”

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p><em>Effective communication between doctor and patient is needed to obtain optimal results for patient recovery. The GMC Health Center clinic applies Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to support comprehensive health services. EMR has a positive impact on doctors but is not so felt by patients. This study aims to analyze patient perceptions of EMR use by doctors in GMC Health Center Clinic. This research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. Sampling by accidental sampling with a total of 91 patients. Research variables include patient perceptions of the use of EMR by doctors and patient satisfaction. Data analysis was carried out in univariate and bivariate with the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test using SPSS Software. The results showed that patients who were satisfied with the use of EMR by doctors mostly had a positive perception of EMR (76.6%). Pearson Product-Moment correlation test showed that there was a significant relationship between patients' perceptions of the use of EMR with patient satisfaction (p-value<α=0.05; r=0.689). The perception of the EMR communication function has a greater correlation with patient satisfaction (72%) than the perception of the clinical function of EMR (48.2%). The conclusion is patients have a positive perception of the use of EMR by doctors and also proven by the high level of patient satisfaction. Doctors should continue to improve communication and focus on patients when using EMR.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong><em>Keyword: </em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong> <strong><em>Electronic Medical Records, Patient, Perception ,</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

“…Also, while certain evidence is available for some classes of the DPCT (e.g. telemedicine solutions) or related areas [22], the area of text-based communication and advice-giving through chat or on-line forums remains largely uncovered. This research, carried out within the social strand of medical informatics [23], [24], fills the theoretical and empirical knowledge gap.…”
