Abstract

Objectives: The adoption of electronic dental records (EDRs) is less extensively studied than electronic medical records (EMRs) in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, a multivariate analysis was conducted to calculate the adoption of EDRs and determine the practice characteristics that influence adoption.

Methods: An online survey was conducted with 220 dental practices in Jeddah from August to December 2021. The questionnaire contained 10 items that measured the adoption of EDRs and identified the region, district, practice characteristics, and practice size. A regression analysis was used to ascertain the relationships between EDR adoption and the predictor variables.

Results: About 93% of the dental practices, we surveyed in Jeddah had adopted EDRs. Public dental practices and large practices were associated with higher rates of adoption (respectively, 97.0%, p = 0.016; 97.8%, p = 0.009). The logistic regression model showed statistically significant results regarding practice characteristics, practice size, and the acceptance of insurance patients. EDR adoption was 89% less likely for private dental practices, 99% less likely for smaller dental practices (≥2 dentists), and 98% less likely in dental practices that did not treat patients with insurance.

Conclusions: Our study sample showed a high rate of EDR adoption. Among the participants, public practices, large practices, and practices that treat patients with insurance were the most positively inclined toward EDR adoption.

实践特点对吉达、沙特阿拉伯采用电子牙科记录的影响。

目的:在沙特阿拉伯，采用电子牙科记录(EDRs)的研究不如电子医疗记录(EMRs)广泛。因此，我们进行了多变量分析来计算edr的采用率，并确定影响采用率的实践特征。方法:于2021年8月至12月对吉达220家牙科诊所进行在线调查。问卷包含10个项目，测量了电子病历的采用情况，并确定了地区、地区、实践特征和实践规模。回归分析用于确定EDR采用与预测变量之间的关系。结果:吉达市约93%的牙科诊所采用了电子病历。公立牙科诊所和大型牙科诊所的采用率较高(分别为97.0%，p = 0.016;97.8%， p = 0.009)。logistic回归模型在执业特征、执业规模、参保患者接受程度等方面均有显著的统计学意义。私人牙科诊所采用EDR的可能性低89%，小型牙科诊所(≥2名牙医)采用EDR的可能性低99%，没有为患者提供保险的牙科诊所采用EDR的可能性低98%。结论:我们的研究样本显示EDR的采用率很高。在参与者中，公共实践、大型实践和治疗有保险患者的实践最积极地倾向于采用电子病历。
