Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Acceptance of PHR by physicians is fundamental as they play important role towards the promotion of PHR adoption by providing the access to the data to be maintained in PHR and also, using the information within the PHR for decision making. Therefore it is important to measure physicians' perspective on usefulness of PHR, and also the value and trust they have in PHR usage. Review of previous researches identifies the lack of availability of a valid survey instrument that can be used to measure physicians' perception on all different aspects of PHR use and acceptance. Using the integrated literature review methodology and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a guiding framework, this study was aimed to identify the factors that can be used in the development of comprehensive evaluation instrument to understand physicians' acceptance of PHR. Total 15 articles were selected for literature review and using the content analysis method, 189 undifferentiated data units were extracted from those articles. These data units were then categorized into the four core constructs of UTAUT. ―Other categorization system was also created for the data units that could not be classified into one of the UTAUT core constructs. Among four core UTAUT constructs, Performance Expectancy is found to be the most influential factor in physicians' acceptance of PHR, followed by ―Other factors, Facilitating Condition and Social Influence. Effort expectancy was found to be the least influential. The identified specific factors within each domain can be used to develop a valid survey instrument to measure physicians' perception on PHR.
