Trends in clinician perceptions of a new electronic health record.
Clinician perceptions of a newly implemented electronic health record (EHR) play an important role in its success or failure. Limited data exist describing how these attitudes change over time. We measured attitudes of primary care clinicians toward a new EHR during the first year following implementation. We found that perceptions of the new system became significantly more favorable over time with variable rates of change for different aspects of the EHR.
