Abstract 

Electronic health records (EHR) outlines the focal point of any eHealth system because patient record system (PRS) is the primary transaction processing system (TPS) where from the story of EHR begins. However, the evaluation of users’ willingness is unavoidable for successful implementation of health informatics. This paper presents eHealth willingness assessment framework with special reference to EHR. The willingness assessment for eHealth systems becomes more crucial in connection with developing countries like Pakistan because the demographic impacts are more severe in developing countries than advanced nations. This study is intended to identify the willingness of users via the main dimensions of readiness for eHealth systems for the success of health informatics.

Key words: eHealth, electronic health records (EHR), TPS, PRS, ICTs, IS, willingness assessment.
