Two-year longitudinal assessment of physicians' perceptions after replacement of a longstanding homegrown electronic health record: does a J-curve of satisfaction really exist?

Electronic health record (EHR) implementation has been linked to physician dissatisfaction and burnout. This survey found physician satisfaction with the EHR decreased immediately after transitioning from a homegrown to a commercial system, and then either remained low or gradually returned to baseline. The authors suggest that these results underscore the need to improve commercial EHRs for physicians.
