• Abstract

    The rapid expansion of electronic medical record (EMR) implementation in hospital setting has profoundly transformed healthcare systems worldwide and strengthened their role in the management of healthcare facilities. This transition requires continous assessment to identify the opportunities and challenges associated with EMR adoption. This study aims to summarize the impact of electronic medical record (EMR) adoption on healthcare providers’ performance and identify the factors contributing to the successful implementation of EMR in hospital settings. A comprehensive search was conducted across four databases (Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct) and one website (Google Scholar) to identify articles published between 2013 and 2023. Inclusion criteria were open-access, original, peer-reviewed articles written in English that evaluated the impact of EMR adoption on healthcare providers in hospital settings. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist and the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist.  Extracted data were summarized through a qualitative narrative synthesis. A total of 63 studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings were organized using the Human-Organization-Technology Fit model. We identified 21 clinician performance outcomes (primary outcomes) and 72 critical factors (secondary outcomes) that influence the adoption of EMR systems. These factors are categorized into four dimensions: technological (32 factors), human (18 factors), organizational (15 factors), and environmental (7 factors). Although EMR adoption offers significant potential benefits, healthcare providers report several factors that hinder effective implementation. The knowledge presented in this review is intended for policymakers and managers to better manage the implementation projects of EMR or other health information systems.
