The role of the professional association: A grounded theory study of Electronic Medical Records usage in Ontario, Canada
作者：
Highlights：
• We study the adoption of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems by interviewing thirty-eight primary care physicians.
• Some physicians only use basic features while others customize features to enhance the way they work.
• All physicians state that there are benefits in using EMRs.
• Physicians who adopt more advanced features realize greater benefits.
• Our methodology of grounded theory results in the theory that Professional Association Guidance positively influences feature adoption.
