Abstract
PurposeOur purpose is to counter the common wisdom that doctors are refractory to change and therefore responsible for the limited use of electronic medical records.MethodsWe draw on experience with electronic medical records in two Harvard Medical School teaching hospitals dating back to the early 1980s.ResultsDoctors quickly become ardent users of electronic medical records if the software is sufficiently helpful in the care of their patients.ConclusionsThe key to enthusiastic acceptance of electronic medical records is computing that is easy to use and helpful to doctors, nurses, and other clinicians in the care of their patients.
