Abstract

Background

Electronic medical records (EMR) have been proven to reduce medical errors in drug distribution. However, EMR adoption is still relatively low among Malaysian community pharmacists.

Objectives

As a result, this study aims to see how community pharmacists in Malaysia use the EMR system. The factors influencing the community pharmacist's intent in adopting EMR will also be determined.

Methods

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Extended TAM were utilized in this study to determine Malaysian community pharmacists' main intention for using EMR. The information was gathered by surveying 144 community pharmacists nationwide. The data was analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS software.

Results

The study found a positively significant relationship between Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Behavioural Intention to Use (BIU).

Conclusion

This study shows critical factors influencing the intention to use EMR among Malaysian community pharmacists. Hopefully, this study will better understand the importance of EMR in the healthcare industry.
