Clinicians Satisfaction Before and After Transition from a Basic to a Compreh...Allison McCoy
Healthcare organizations are transitioning from basic to comprehensive electronic health records (EHRs) to meet Meaningful Use requirements and improve patient safety. Yet, full adoption of EHRs is lagging and may be linked to clinician dissatisfaction. In depth assessment of satisfaction before, during, and after EHR transition is rarely done. Using an adapted published tool to assess adoption and satisfaction with EHRs, we surveyed clinicians at a large, non-profit academic medical center before (baseline) and 6-12 months (short-term follow-up) and 12-24 months (long-term follow-up) after transition from a basic, locally-developed to a comprehensive, commercial EHR. Satisfaction with the EHR (overall and by component) was captured at each interval. Overall satisfaction was highest at baseline (85%), lowest at short-term follow-up (66%), and increasing at long-term follow-up (79%). This trend was similar for satisfaction with EHR components designed to improve patient safety including clinical decision support, patient communication, health information exchange, and system reliability. Conversely, at baseline, short-term and long-term follow-up, perceptions of productivity, ability to provide better care with the EHR, and satisfaction with available resources, were lower at both short- and long-term follow-up compared to baseline. Persistent dissatisfaction with productivity and resources was identified. Addressing determinants of dissatisfaction may increase full adoption of EHRs. Further investigation in larger populations is warranted.
