摘要
Many healthcare organizations have adopted Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to improve the quality of care and help physicians make proper clinical decisions. The vital roles of EHRs can support the accuracy of diagnosis, suggest, and rationalize the provided care to patients. This study aims to understand the roles of EHRs in approaching proper differential diagnosis and optimizing patient safety. This study utilized a cross-sectional survey-based descriptive research design to assess physicians' perceptions of the roles of EHRs on diagnosis quality and safety. Physicians working in tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia were surveyed. Three hundred and fifty-one participants were included in the study, of which 61% were male. The main participants were family/general practice (22%), medicine, general (14%), and OB/GYN (12%). Overall, 66% of the participants ranked themselves as IT competent, most of the participants underwent IT self-guided learning, and 65% of the participants always used the system. The results generally reveal positive physicians' perceptions toward the roles of the EHR system on diagnosis quality and safety. There was a statistically significant relationship between user characteristics and the roles of the EHR by enhancing access to care, patient-physician encounter, clinical reasoning, diagnostic testing and consultation, follow-up, and diagnostic safety functionality. The study participants demonstrate positive perceptions of physicians toward the roles of the EHR system in approaching differential diagnosis. Yet, areas of improvement in the design and using EHRs are emphasized.
