The adoption and promotion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), including Electronic Health Records (EHR) system, in healthcare delivery is growing rapidly in most developing countries including Nigeria. The aim of this study is to evaluates the attitude, perception and barrier of implemented EHR at Lagos state university teaching Hospital by assessing the preparations made prior to the systems introduction as well as the factors that impede or promote the systems usability and satisfaction among the users of the system. With an interpretive case study research approach, data was gathered from the users of the system and the system administrators using in-depth semi-structured interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and observations and focused group discussions. Results indicate sufficient preparations made by the hospital prior to the systems introduction through thorough understudying of other implemented systems in other hospitals, the establishment of an Information Technology (IT) department, provision of infrastructure and network connections, and the training of staff. In spite of these, the study revealed some drawbacks in the preparations to include; inadequate computers, inadequate training and the non-involvement of users in the design and configuration of the system. Majority of the users recorded their satisfaction with the system although the attitudes of some users were perceived to be underserved. Benefits realized from the implemented EHR included; reduced errors and missing files, reduced work task, reduced expenditure on paper logistics and the retrieval of absconded bills. The findings from the study were discussed and the necessary recommendations made towards the sustainability of the implemented EHR.
