Yet our findings clearly indicate that highly impacted physicians
remain a minority (16%) of EHR users. There is thus a need, emerging
from this study, to investigate the individual, technological,
organizational and legal factors that motivate or persuade family
physicians to “proactively explore” their EHR system’s functionalities
and subsequently use a broader range of functionalities to
better support their clinical, communicational and administrative
activities or tasks [69]. For one thing, our findings reveal that fuller
usage by family physicians requires EHR software products to be
easier to use or more “physician-friendly”
