Abstract

Electronic Medical Record(EMR) is medical record that has been saved electronically onto a computer. The standardization activities for EMR is actively underway as it may not only improve the overall quality of the medical services but as the value of medical big data (medical & IT convergence area) is being considered very important. One of the most important issues is ensuring the necessary and effectiveness of EMR standardization to the stakeholder. Researchers did an empirical study to find out how the doctors perceived the EMR standardization from both technical and economical perspective. The results of the empirical analyses showed that system quality and an economical value had a positive effect on perceived usefulness and intention to adopt EMR standardization, yet interoperability have only affected the perceived usefulness. Additionally, the economical value seemed to be the most important variable in forming a consensus in the need of EMR standardization.

컴퓨터에 전자적 형태로 저장된 의무기록인 EMR의 표준화에 대한 논의가 활발하다. 이는 EMR 표준화를 통해 의료 서비스의 향상을 기대할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 의료와 IT의 융합영역인 의료 빅데이터의 가치가 점차 높아지고 있기 때문이다. EMR 표준화와 관련한 주요 이슈 중 하나는 EMR 표준화의 필요성과 효과성을 이해관계자들에게 설득시키는 일이다. 연구자는 EMR 표준화에 대한 의사들의 인식을 기술 관점과 경제적 관점에서 살펴보고자 설문조사를 실시한 후 이에 대해 통계분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석 결과, EMR 시스템의 기능 품질과 경제적 가치는 EMR 표준화에 대한 유용성 인식과 수용 의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 반면, 상호운용성은 유용성 인식에만 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 경제적 가치가 EMR 표준화 필요성에 대한 공감대 형성에 가장 중요한 변수로 확인되었다.
