Abstract

OBJECTIVES

The adoption of electronic dental records (EDRs) is less extensively studied than electronic medical records (EMRs) in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, a multivariate analysis was conducted to calculate the adoption of EDRs and determine the practice characteristics that influence adoption.

METHODS

An online survey was conducted with 220 dental practices in Jeddah from August to December 2021. The questionnaire contained 10 items that measured the adoption of EDRs and identified the region, district, practice characteristics, and practice size. A regression analysis was used to ascertain the relationships between EDR adoption and the predictor variables.

RESULTS

About 93% of the dental practices, we surveyed in Jeddah had adopted EDRs. Public dental practices and large practices were associated with higher rates of adoption (respectively, 97.0%, p = 0.016; 97.8%, p = 0.009). The logistic regression model showed statistically significant results regarding practice characteristics, practice size, and the acceptance of insurance patients. EDR adoption was 89% less likely for private dental practices, 99% less likely for smaller dental practices (≥2 dentists), and 98% less likely in dental practices that did not treat patients with insurance.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study sample showed a high rate of EDR adoption. Among the participants, public practices, large practices, and practices that treat patients with insurance were the most positively inclined toward EDR adoption.

摘要

目的

在沙特阿拉伯，电子牙科记录（EDR）的采用情况相比电子病历（EMR）受到的研究较少。因此，进行了一项多变量分析，以计算EDR的采用率，并确定影响采用的实践特征。

方法

2021年8月至12月对吉达的220家牙科诊所进行了在线调查。问卷包含10个项目，用于衡量EDR的采用情况，并确定地区、区域、实践特征和诊所规模。采用回归分析来确定EDR采用与预测变量之间的关系。

结果

我们在吉达调查的牙科诊所中，约93%采用了EDR。公立牙科诊所和大型诊所的采用率较高（分别为97.0%，p = 0.016；97.8%，p = 0.009）。逻辑回归模型显示，在实践特征、诊所规模和对保险患者的接受度方面有统计学意义的结果。私立牙科诊所采用EDR的可能性低89%，小型牙科诊所（≥2名牙医）低99%，不治疗保险患者的牙科诊所低98%。
