Nowadays electronic health records are evaluated
and implemented worldwide. Future stakeholders, especially
patients are not always integrated into all aspects of this
process. An important problem with the rollout of a
countrywide e-health project is the unequal distribution of the
access to modern media, especially to computer and internet
("regional digital gap"), of people living in urban and rural
areas - and if there are differences regarding the usage of an
electronic health record between these two groups. Differences
in these aspects between urban and rural areas where
evaluated using an empirical trial. This qualitative survey was
based on 20 interviews focused on the discrepancy between
urban and rural areas regarding the opinion on the electronic
health record in Austria. The results show that differences in
some aspects regarding "personal data input", "health
information", "own usage" and "data abuse" of an electronic
health record exists.
