Keeping this
in mind, we sought to better characterize how EHR systems are
actually being used by physicians in primary care medical practices
and investigate the extent to which these systems contribute
to performance outcomes. More precisely, we attempt to provide
answers to the following research questions: To what extent do
family physicians actually use EHR functionalities? What are the
contextual factors that are related to a more comprehensive use
of EHR systems by these physicians?
