Computer science As Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) have a great possibility for rising physician’s performance in their daily work whichimproves quality, safety and efficiencyin healthcare, they are implemented throughoutthe world (Boonstra and Broekhuis, 2010). In physician practices the rate of EMRs adoption has been slow and restricted (around 25%) according to Endsley, Baker, Kershner, and Curtin (2005) in spite of the cost savings through lower administrative costs and medical errors related with EMRs systems.The core objective of this research is to identify, categorize, and analysemesolevel factors introduced by Lau et al, 2012,perceived byphysicians to the adoption of EMRs in order to givemore knowledgein primary care setting.Finding was extracted through questionnaire which distributed to 350physicians in primary caresin Malaysia to assess their perception towards EMRs adoption. The findings showed that Physicians had positive perception towards some features related to technology adoption success and emphasized EMRs hadhelpful impact in their office.
