Rationales | Description | Studies |
Declarative knowledge | Not knowing how to use (a part of) the EHRa to accomplish a task | [20,33,34,39,43,44] |
Procedural knowledge | Knowing how but not being proficient enough to use a part of the EHR to accomplish a task | [20,28,34,39,44] |
Memory aid | Writing patient data down on paper (eg, keywords) or adding visual elements to parts of text in a progress note (eg, boldfacing, italicizing, or underlining) to remind oneself | [20,34,39,43,45-47] |
Awareness | Storing patient data that are perceived important by the EHR user for other colleagues or patients to be noticed (frequently in a data field other than the intended field in the EHR) | [20,39,40,48] |
Social norms | Formal or informal, collaborative, and cultural understandings among health care professionals leading to the creation and dissemination of workarounds (eg, mimicking workarounds devised by colleagues to accomplish a task or working around the system upon as friendly requested or enforced by a fellow clinician) | [20,29-31,45,49,50] |
Trust (new) | Having insufficient trust in the (new) EHR system or its capabilities, lack of perceived usefulness, or insufficient confidence in the (completeness) of data | [20,33-39] |
