We conducted three evaluation studies in community and hospital settings to examine point-of-care documentation system adoption among interdisciplinary care team clinicians. In the community settings, quantitative methods included documentation time-to-completion and a clinician satisfaction survey. Qualitative methods included observations and follow-up interviews. Qualitative data and quantitative data were merged comparing findings along themes. In the hospitals, qualitative scenario testing results indicated clinician system adoption was universal, though not always timely. At all sites, mismatch between system functionality and workflow was a barrier to clinician system access during patient care and reduced clinician efficiency. Clinicians at all settings were satisfied with their ability to access other clinicians' notes, without increased interdisciplinary team communication. Clinicians did not identify any systems impact on patient outcomes. To facilitate adoption, clinicians should see the value of using the system as intended by receiving system data feedback that shows improvement of patient care and patient safety.
