Abstract

The implementation of electronic health records systems (EHRS) has a major impact on both clinical staff and physicians. However, it is difficult for small and medium sized clinics to adopt EHRS. Without proper mechanisms and methodologies in place, the transition is often slowed down for several reasons. In order to identify what issues and challenges are involved in transitions, this study was conducted to 1) investigate the current issues and perspectives of employees regarding a system upgrade, database integration and managerial efficiency in order to streamline daily business operations at a medium-sized dental clinic, and 2) suggest the best strategy to solve the identified problems and challenges. Interviews were conducted with administrative staff members, a dentist, a dental resident and the director of the clinic. Interviews were transcribed and grouped into two major categories: managerial efficiency and employees' responses toward system upgrade and integration.
