Abstract

Healthcare reform and health information technology (HIT) are transforming physicians' roles in delivering healthcare. New technologies present physicians with exciting new opportunities and challenges to enhance medical practice, reduce costs, and improve patient experiences, as well as opportunities to develop new competencies and standards of professionalism. The Dreyfus model for skills acquisition may provide a helpful framework. Within the competency context, understanding and leveraging drivers of and the barriers to HIT adoption can promote a learning culture that may more readily assimilate new HIT. Involving physicians in designing and implementing HIT systems could result in increasing physician satisfaction. Supportive staffing and technical assistance may aid physicians in successfully implementing the systems without increasing workload or decreasing professional satisfaction. Understanding the needs of 21st century physicians related to HIT solutions should greatly increase the successful integration of HIT into the 21st century healthcare workplace.
