Understanding Nurse Behavior And The Factors That Influence It In Receiving Electronic Medical Records

Background: The implementation of Electronic Medical Records (RME) in healthcare facilities still faces a high failure rate, with more than 50% of RME systems not being used optimally. Sawah Besar Hospital, which began implementing RME in August 2023, recorded 1,500 cases of errors in a year, with 60% of system errors and 30% of user errors. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the intention of using RME by nurses by integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This quantitative research uses a census method by involving 70 nurses as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and attitude toward use simultaneously affected the intention to use RME (F=77.917, p<0.05). Attitude toward use acts as a mediator in the relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness to the intention to use RME. These findings have important implications for hospital management in optimizing the implementation of RME through improving technical aspects and forming positive user attitudes.
