Abstract
As EMRs grow, healthcare providers' performance will be improved and healthcare costs will be reduced, which is driving increasing use of electronic medical records (EMRs). Small rural hospitals, in particular, lack evidence to support these beliefs. All hospitals in Iowa were asked to participate in a survey assessing their health information technology (HIT) capabilities. An assessment of the operational Electronic Medical Record perceived advantages EMRs was conducted by conducting structured interviews with implementation of electronic medical records in 15 critical access hospitals. EMRs were implemented in most hospitals for the purpose of improving adeptly, availability of time, and assurance of excellence. EMR implementation was also viewed by many CAH leaders as a necessary business strategy to enhance profitability and remain competitive. Other factors may contribute to the decision, besides perceived future federal mandates, key hospital leaders want to embrace HIT based on hospital orientation. In terms of quantifiable results, anticipated benefits were consistent with goals, but realized benefits seldom met expectations. Critical access hospitals should implement electronic medical records (EMRs) based on these findings, which extend the limited research on this subject
