الملخص الإنجليزي

Despite a consensus that the use of health information technology should lead to more efficient, safer, and higher-quality care, there are no reliable estimates of the prevalence of adoption of electronic health records in Jordanian hospitals.

We surveyed all private hospitals in Amman that are members of the Jordanian Ministry of Health for the presence of specific electronic-record functionalities.

Using a definition of electronic health records based on expert consensus, we determined the proportion of hospitals that had such systems in their clinical areas.

We also examined the relationship of adoption of electronic health records to specific hospital characteristics and factors that were reported to be barriers to or facilitators of adoption.

On the basis of responses from 78.9 % of hospitals surveyed, respondents cited capital requirements, high maintenance costs, and technological factors as the primary barriers to implementation, The very low levels of adoption of electronic health records in Amman private hospitals suggest that policymakers face substantial obstacles to the achievement of health care performance goals that depend on health information technology.

A policy strategy focused on financial support, interoperability, and training of technical support staff may be necessary to spur adoption of electronic-records systems in Jordanian hospitals.
