Popis: Electronic health records have a crucial role for communication and information management in health care organizations. Electronic health records have improved the access to up-dated medical information at the point-of-care, but they have also been linked to usability issues and user problems. This paper presents a study about the user experience among health care professionals regarding an electronic health record system in Norway. Qualitative research methods were used, with interviews and observations made at a university hospital, where 14 clinical end-users of an electronic health record system contributed. The aim was to study the user experiences and the user satisfaction regarding the system. The study concluded that the health care professionals in general were satisfied with the system, but they had to make some work arounds to efficiently carry out care in their daily work practice.
