Abstract
The Aim of this study was to examine the contribution of electronic medical record systems to the improvement of safety and quality in clinical practice as perceived by intensive care physicians. Subject: The researcher selected 120 physicians who completed and returned the questionnaires. Design: A quantitative survey research was employed. Tools: A task-oriented Questionnaire for Evaluating EMR Systems , Safety Attitudes Questionnaire( Short form) and Medical service quality( Short form) were used. Results: Findings indicated that electronic medical records achieve a better use, quality and satisfaction by intensive care physicians. There were significant correlations between electronic medical records systems, improved safety and improved quality. Conclusion and Recommendations: An electronic medical record system was found to be positively correlated with improved safety and improved quality. Improved safety was found to be positively correlated with improved quality. The findings have implications for using electronic medical record systems. Therefore, policy makers are invited to use electronic medical record systems. This they can be through training physicians and nurses about the use electronic medical record systems . The results of this study pointed to the importance of including the electronic medical record systems in medical programs.
