Abstract: Transactional systems are ubiquitous in most industries; however, healthcare organizations continue to slowly diffuse Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. This research integrates security features such as biometrics for authentication purposes, multiple access connections, and single sign-on systems into the Technology Acceptance Model to explore whether these features might improve user acceptance of EHR. Security potentially affects user perceptions of ease of use and usefulness, improving acceptance of EHR systems. This work contributes to the literature by exploring whether security features are important in shaping health care worker attitudes towards EHR systems.
