Abstract: This qualitative study explores 15 pharmacists' experiences with integrating Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems into their workflow. Through in-depth interviews, the study investigates the challenges faced by pharmacists, as well as the perceived benefits of EHR integration. Findings reveal that while EHR systems offer potential advantages such as improved medication safety and enhanced communication with healthcare teams, pharmacists encounter various challenges including usability issues, time constraints, and workflow disruptions. The study underscores the need for tailored EHR solutions and comprehensive training to optimize pharmacist engagement and integration within healthcare settings.
