Perceived barriers and enablers of a personal health record from the healthcare provider perspective

Personal health records (PHRs) have been implemented around the world as a means to increase the safety, quality, and efficiency of health care. The Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia launched their PHR in 2018. This study aimed to explore healthcare provider (HCP) perspectives of barriers to and enablers of PHR adoption in Saudi Arabia. The 291 participating HCPs (40.5% nurses, 23.0% pharmacists, 17.2% physicians, 15.5% technicians, and 3.8% other) selected the following as top-3 barriers to PHR adoption: 1) lack of patient awareness (19.4%), 2) patient low literacy (17.7%), and 3) patient resistance to new technologies (12.5%). Of these, 36 responded to the open-ended question gauging feedback on the PHR. Three main themes were identified from the comments: 1) general perceptions of the PHR (positive attitudes, negative attitudes, additional features); 2) patient engagement as a requirement for the successful implementation of the PHR; and 3) education/training of HCPs, patients, and caregivers. This analysis extends our understanding of HCP perspectives of barriers and enablers to PHR adoption. Further qualitative research with patients is required to confirm our findings.
