| Abstract | South Africa is in the process of implementing a multi-billion Rand National Healthcare Insurance (NHI) strategy, the objective of which is cost effective healthcare service delivery to all South Africans. An electronic health record (EHR) system will form a vital component of the infrastructure that needs to be put into place for managing healthcare services. A brief review of the literature reveals that in the healthcare sector, even though high-end technology and detailed planning were incorporated during Electronic Medical Record (EMR) roll-out at the healthcare hospitals and clinics, it is impossible to predict whether the system would be optimally utilised or not. The primary reason is that there exists some kind of resistance amongst healthcare professional towards the use of the EMR systems. Thus, managing the transformation from a paper-based to an electronic system is a complex process and it highlights the importance of understanding the human aspect associated with the technology rollout and system utilisation. Since the South African health care sector is in the preliminary stage of introducing EMR technology, it is deemed essential to gain an understanding of the human factors that will contribute to the successful adoption of the EMR system countrywide. With this in mind, this research study aimed at gaining an understanding of the perceptions of EMR technology implementation and use among healthcare personnel. It focuses on aspects related to the type of technological system deployed, user skills and organisational compatibility. It also aims to find possible solutions that will directly influence the healthcare professionals in either accepting or rejecting the technology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
