Introduction
The authors study the differences in individual physicians' EHR use patterns and identify perceptions of uncertainty as an important new variable in understanding EHR use. [1]
Abstract
This study was done by interviews and direct observation of Physicians. Area the study preformed was in an outpatient care organization.
Measurement
- Primary care physicians
- Sub-specialists - endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, rheumatologists, neurologists, and podiatrists.
- Spent 4 weeks in each practice interviewing and observing physicians during normal work activities
HealthGroup implemented its EHR 7 years prior to data collection.
Results
Physicians' perceptions of uncertainty
- Uncertain reduction
- Uncertain adoption
- Uncertain Hybrid
Conclusions
This study contributes new understanding of the differences in how individual physicians use an EHR.
- Findings
how they perceive uncertainty
how they view the role of information in managing uncertainty as they care for patients evidence linking individual physicians' perceptions of uncertainty with their EHR use patterns.
- Implications
health IT design Implementation initiatives
