This paper reports on the role users played in the design and development of an electronic patient record. Two key users participated in the project team. All future users received questionnaires and a selection of them was interviewed. Before starting the development of the EPR, the attitude of users towards electronic record keeping, their satisfaction with the paper clinical records, their knowledge of computers, and their needs and expectations of computer applications in health care were measured by means of a questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire were supplemented with in-depth interviews. Users had a neutral attitude towards electronic record keeping. They were more positive about data entry of the paper records than data retrieval. During the development phase, but prior to the implementation of the EPR, a second questionnaire measured satisfaction with the paper records. Satisfaction appeared to be related to self-rated computer experience. Inexperienced computer users tended to be more positive about the paper records. In general, respondents did not have many expectations about electronic record keeping. A second series of interviews zoomed in on the expectations users had. Except for more concise reporting no beneficial effects of electronic record keeping were expected.
