The study's aim was to examine factors that may influence health information managers in the adoption of electronic health records. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) served as theoretical foundation for this quantitative study. Hospital health information managers in Arkansas were queried as to the constructs of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and behavior intention. The study population comprised 94 health information managers with a return rate of 74.5 percent. One manager was identified to represent each hospital. In each of the construct areas, the results showed a difference between health information managers that had adopted components of EHRs versus those that had not. This study may serve to guide the educational process of both health information managers that have yet to implement EHRs as well as the EHR vendor community.
该研究的目的是考察可能影响健康信息管理人员采用电子健康记录的因素。技术接受模型（TAM）作为这项定量研究的理论基础。阿肯色州的医院健康信息管理人员被问及感知有用性、感知易用性和行为意向等构念。研究对象包括94名健康信息管理人员，回复率为74.5%。每家医院确定一名管理人员作为代表。在每个构念领域，结果显示采用电子健康记录组件的健康信息管理人员与未采用的管理人员之间存在差异。这项研究可能有助于指导尚未实施电子健康记录的健康信息管理人员以及电子健康记录供应商群体的教育过程。
