Predicting Physician EHR Adoption: A Theory of Planned Behavior Approach

Predicting Physician EHR Adoption: A Theory of Planned Behavior Approach

This study, 'A model of health IT acceptance and utilization by physicians: Predicting EHR use intentions using the theory of planned behavior,' examines the factors driving physicians' willingness to adopt and use electronic health records (EHRs). Authored by Holden, Karsh, and Or, and published in 2011 in the Journal of Health Organization and Management, the research employs the Theory of Planned Behavior as a framework for understanding EHR acceptance and utilization.

The study explores how physicians' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control influence their intentions to use EHRs. This model provides valuable insights for healthcare organizations and policymakers aiming to promote successful EHR implementation and improve healthcare delivery.
