Strategies to increase familiarization and acceptance of electronic health records among health professionals and consumers.
There are many reasons an organization may choose to implement electronic health records. The challenge is to acknowledge the benefits and deficiencies of the electronic health record, to understand the driving forces for implementation and the barriers to it, and to effect change in the workplace and consumer behaviour. Indeed, one challenge is the determination of the organizational stance with regard to these factors. If all of these factors are seriously considered and the risks to implementation measured, a successful implementation should ensue.
