Exploring family physicians’ experiences with electronic prescribing platforms in primary healthcare centers in Hail, Saudi Arabia: a qualitative study
The overall experience of family physicians was positive and their perspectives toward this digital transformation are optimistic. Findings of this study asserted the inclusion of physicians in the early phase of eHealth application development. Results may be limited by the purposive sampling method and restricted generalizability to other healthcare settings. Further research is needed to expand the adoption of ePrescribing services in all Saudi healthcare centers and to improve the user experience with the electronic prescribing service worldwide.
