Abstract:

Electronic Medical Record system (EMRs) is one type of Healthcare Information Technology (HIT), EMRs is an electronic record of a patient’s medical history produced by one or more medical visits. Incorporated in this system are patient demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports, encounters, tests results, administrative issues, and other information. The scope of this paper is investigate of  the factors that affect the implementation of EMRs in the Jordanian healthcare environment focusing on healthcare professionals involved physicians, nurses, pharmacists and laboratory staff of EMRs using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This includes Individual Characteristics Factors (ICF) such as Users- Patient Relationship (UPR), User Autonomy (UA) and User Background of Commuter (UBC). Also, discusses of the Healthcare Information Technology. This paper will also describe the data collocation and sample. In this Paper the researcher have been extended TAM supported with empirical and statistical evidences that can be used to predict actual EMRs usage models. This model postulates that actual EMRs usage is determined by behavioral intention to use and attitudes towards using and Perceived Usefulness (PU). Since this study is about EMR systems, which in turn is a computer-based system, the model would be used to study the use of EMRs in other countries.
