  • Background: E-prescribing is the most important achievement in the automation of the healthcare sector in Poland Obligatory electronic prescribing came into force on 8 January 2020 This innovation significantly changes the work of doctors Therefore, it is useful to identify the factors that have an impact on doctors’ acceptance levels for the new technology Methods: This study employs a survey based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) method Our questionnaire was completed by 144 family doctors in Poland during the technology implementation phase and the initial period of obligatory e-prescribing, between 1 December 2019 and 1 March 2020 Results: The results of the survey indicate that doctors do not believe that e-prescribing improves the effectiveness of their work In addition, this attitude does not depend on the age of the respondent We also found, regarding the influence of societal attitudes, that doctors only rarely consider the opinions of others in relation to their job Conclusions: The implementation of new technologies in the healthcare system must be accompanied by consideration of how user-friendly the technologies are, and whether the users will have appropriate technical and financial support
