Yet, despite these benefits, the adoption of electronic medical records in primary care settings, in Canada remains low. This thesis research, a descriptive case study, is an in-depth look at the process of electronic medical record implementation for a family practice group in an attempt to understand the process, technology, and the challenges associated with such as transition. This research uses two well-known models as its framework: the Delone and McLean IS Success Model and John Kotter’s Eight Stages of Organizational Change. The use of the two models together is unique; their use together provides a broader look at the aspects of implementation including the environment in which it is being conducted.enAvailable to the World Wide WebElectronic Medical RecordOrganizational ChangeSystem ImplementationFamily PracticeUVic Subject Index::Humanities and Social Sciences::Communication and the Arts::Information scienceThesis
