Factors Affecting Healthcare Professional’s Adoption Of The Electronic Medical Records Systems

Résumé: The purpose of this research is to examine the variables affecting the use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) by medical staff members, such as doctors and nurses, at Shabaan Hamdoun Hospital in Maghnia, Tlemcen Province. In order to investigate their effects on healthcare professionals' desire to embrace the system and its actual use, the study used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and added external variables such data security, self-efficacy, management support, and infrastructure. A custom created questionnaire was used to gather information from 156 healthcare professionals in the sample. Using SPSS 27, multiple linear regressions were used to evaluate the data and look at the correlations between the variables. The findings demonstrated that the intention to use electronic medical records is positively and directly impacted by perceived usefulness, ease of use, data security, self-efficacy, and management support. When healthcare professionals' expectations about the system's benefits, usability, and data security are fulfilled, these elements help to increase their preparedness to embrace it. Infrastructure did not have a significant influence, though, suggesting that it may not be the main obstacle. Additionally, the actual use of electronic medical records was strongly positively impacted by intention to use.
