Self administered semi structured questionnaire which consists of five sections. It includes socio-demographic variables, perception & preference on EHRM & Attitude by PATCH Scale. Results: Findings show that 27 of them had very low positive attitude, 12 of them had low positive attitude, 12 of them had very low negative attitude & 19 of them had low negative attitude. According to PATCH Scale 3 of them had uneasiness to use computers in health care, 30 of them got limited awareness, 35 of them got realistic view & only 2 of them had enthusiastic view.
