Healthcare Technology Innovation Adoption

Understanding EHRs continuance intention to use from the perspectives of UTAUT: practice environment moderating effect and top management support as predictor variables

“…Concerns have been raised about the effectiveness and efficiency of nurses' performance who must deal with the challenges of paper-based patient records and the EHR vis-à-vis the critical changes in clinical service-delivery that the introduction and use of IT in healthcare systems have impacted (Cornell et al, 2010). Succinctly put, the EHR is expected to ease access to critical clinical and related data, increase health promotion, reduce medical errors, increase clinical interventions and patient evaluation, and make the general management of the system better (Daim et al, 2016;Gilani et al, 2016;Ayanso et al, 2015;Boswell, 2011Boswell, , 2013Goorman and Berg, 2000). These and related functions are pertinent to the optimal functionality of nurses, in that they play a critical role in the health management system (Goorman and Berg, 2000;Staggers and Thompson, 2002;Institute of Medicine, 2010).…”

New Integrated Model Approach to Understand the Factors That Drive Electronic Health Record Portal Adoption: Cross-Sectional National Survey

“…Due to the fact that some of the private health care providers perceived an efficiency advantage, they have invested in developing more sophisticated portals than the public hospitals, but the new version of the NHS portal has now also started aggregating all the patient information from the different public health care institutions, making it available to the patient at one place [7]. There are differences between the different types of EHR portals in the same country and among different countries, but the most common and frequently used features identified in the literature, which generally apply to an EHR portal, are as follows: management of health information and communication with health providers, medical appointments schedule, check their own EHR, and request for medical prescription renewals [2-4,15-17]. Taking into account the relevance of all the current initiatives that are ongoing in Portugal regarding EHR portals, a nationwide survey using a sample of randomly generated mobile numbers was applied in our study.…”

“…As we are studying the EHR portals from the heath care consumers’ perspective and not from the health care providers’ standpoint, it is relevant to use UTAUT2, because most of the existing (information technology) IT adoption models are not consumer-specific [2,15]. In addition, previous research identified the relevance of including health care–specific constructs in studying the adoption of EHR portals and eHealth platforms [3,16,17]; therefore, we used a construct related to HBM that already achieved good results within the scope of our study [3]. EHR portals are a new eHealth technology and the DOI model revealed in past studies to be able to explain the adoption of new eHealth tools successfully, therefore making it suitable to be used to study EHR portals adoption [13,18].…”

Adoption factors of electronic health record systems

“…The present study is applying TAM to explore success factors of EHR adoption. The earlier results of the study, were reported in [14][15][16][17].…”
