Yet little is known about the benefits, challenges, and specific impacts of EHR implementation in the often resource-constrained CHC environment, especially from users' perspectives. The objective of this study was to explore EHR users' perspectives about the EHR implementation process and impact in a CHC network.Medical informaticsElectronic medical recordsElectronic health recordEfficiencyCommunity health centersAmbulatory care information systemsInformation systemsTest Order EntryInformation-TechnologyTime-MotionCarePhysiciansPaperPerceived efficiency impacts following electronic health record implementation: An exploratory study of an urban community health center networktext::journal::journal article::research article
