Abstract
This section reviews Electronic Health Records and considers technology assessment scenarios for multiple purposes. These are:The adoption of EHR with focus on barriers and enables (Study 1)The selection of EHR with focus on different alternatives (Study 2)The use of EHR with focus on impacts (Study 3)The exploration will assume that the adoption, selection and use of EHR related to the ambulatory EHR accepted in small practices.The first section will highlight the gaps in each case and will address and list matching research goals and research questions.
