Abstract

The objective of this study is to propose and test a theoretical model on pre-adoption views of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems by Canadian medical practitioners. An empirical investigation was conducted with a sample of Canadian practitioners to identify relevant factors favouring or deterring adoption. Results show that positive performance and effort expectancies help and perceived risk hinders adoption in the view of Canadian medical practitioners who are not yet using EMRs.
