Abstract:
This study determined change process factors affecting the uptake of electronic health records (EHR) by nurses at Moi Teaching
and Referral Hospital (MTRH) in Eldoret, Kenya. Descriptive cross-sectional research design was utilised in the inquiry. Data
was collected using a structured questionnaire deployed to 279 nurses. Descriptive statistics, correlation and linear regression
evaluations were utilised to ascertain the change process factors affecting EHR adoption. Descriptive analysis revealed that most
of the nurses agreed that they found MTRH organizational culture supportive of the EHR system (M=4.014, SD=0.9134).
Correlation evaluation revealed a positive, strong and statistically s ignificant correlation between the change process factors and
the adoption of EHR, r (279) = 0.641, p < 0.05. Linear regression assessment showed that there is a statistical and significant
linear connection between change process factors and the adoption of EHR, F (1, 277) = 192.818, p < 0.01 and that change
process factors can statistically and significantly affect the adoption of EHR, β3 = 0.571, t (279) = 13.886, p < 0.01. The inquiry
concludes that EHR deployment is a transformational activity that needs to be spearheaded by heads in c are practice. It is
recommended that healthcare organizations should select an EHR system project champion, preferably an experienced nurse
during EHR system execution.
