The Differing Effect of Gender and Clinical Specialty on Physicians' Intention to Use Electronic Medical Record.

CONCLUSIONS:  The proposed research framework contributes to the conclusive explanation for interpreting physicians' intention to use EMR. Physicians generally have a higher level of computer literacy. Therefore, the factor of PEOU could not be critical regarding adopting new health information technology (HIT). This study also brings perspectives from the gender, and clinical differences have primarily been missing in the literature of the physicians' intention to use HIT. In doing so, it infers how gender, and clinical specialty, may complement (and in some instances, reinforce) the influence of technological and attitudinal factors of HIT use. Thus, health care providers must take these factors into consideration in the development and validation of the theories regarding the intention to use EMR.
