title: Assessing user perceptions of an electronic patient record (EPR) before implementation.
abstract: As part of a comprehensive strategy to implement an electronic patient record (EPR), faculty, residents, students and support staff, were surveyed to assess their attitudes and awareness towards an EPR before implementation. Results of the survey suggested a high degree of awareness and optimistic outlook by many users about the potential of the EPR to improve efficiency and patient care.
