dc.description.abstractIn Nigeria, patients spend ample time at the clinics waiting to be attended to by healthcare providers and other clerical staff. A lot of reasons have been associated with the causes of the long waiting period at the outpatient department in most clinics in developing countries among which is the issue of manual record keeping. Different pragmatic approaches have been made in other to reduce the waiting period at the clinics among which is EHR. For EHR to be fully utilized there be some perceived benefits on the part of the users. The study used Davies (1989) technology acceptance model (TAM) to explain the user (health workers) acceptance behavior of EHR in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Shika-Zaria. Two research questions was raised, the study adopted qualitative methodology. The population of the study included all the health workers in ABUTH using a clustered sampling technique to randomly select the respondents and the process of interviewing was stopped the data reached the saturation stage. Content analysis of data was used to the data. It was discovered that if the technology is established, it will assist the management in there planning in terms of recruitment of personals and the use of facility within certain unit in the hospital this will lessen the time patients wait at the clinic. It can be concluded that if EHR is adopted in the system, there is the possibility that the technology may be fully utilized because of the inherent perceived ease of use and usefulness as observed by the health workers there by reducing the time patient spent at the public health facility
