“…It has been applied to understand the adoption of many IS applications or technologies such as interorganizational systems, e-business, electronic data interchange, open systems, and enterprise systems. However, each study used slightly different factors as measures for each of the framework's dimensions [5], [73], [83]. In addition, according to Table 1, it can be demonstrated that in order to explain the adoption of several diverse IS innovations; TOE framework can successfully be utilized.…”

“…Hospitals by adopting Information Technology (IT) applications such as HIS would gain the great benefit, ranging from medical systems to administration systems. HIS is broadly employed in the hospitals around the world [3][4][5][6][7][8]. HIS was introduced in the 1960s to support hospital's financial services [9].…”

“…Even though the HIS has brought the immense change to process of care delivery, it has attempted to increase the quality and safety of care [1], [9], [18][19][20]. However, compared to other technologies in the healthcare domain, the acceptance level of HIS is low [5], [17], [21][22][23][24]. HIS can support patient care planning and enhance decision making of clinical or administrative functions.…”

“…HIS can support patient care planning and enhance decision making of clinical or administrative functions. Besides, there are some limitations in the clinical practice that are being addressed via the HIS implementation [5], [25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. As an example, HIS systems used by nurses are able to control and track carefully the patient's care in an electronic manner.…”

Additionally, nursing documentation as a chief clinical activity, stand to obtain a benefit from HIS [5], [24], [32][33][34][35][36]. Thus, it is imperative that HIS is designed to address the needs of main users in optimally coordinating user activities.…”

Background: Hospital Information System (HIS) is implemented to provide high-quality patient care. The aim of this study is to identify significant dimensional factors that influence the hospital decision in adopting the HIS. Methods: This study designs the initial integrated model by taking the three main dimensions in adopting HIS technology. Accordingly, DEMATEL was utilized to test the strength of interdependencies among the dimensions and variables. Then ANP approach is adapted to determining how the factors are weighted and prioritized by professionals and main users working in the Iranian public hospitals, involved with the HIS system. Results: The results indicated that "Perceived Technical Competence" is a key factor in the Human dimension. The respondents also believed that "Relative Advantage," "Compatibility" and "Security Concern" of Technology dimension should be further assessed in relation to other factors. With respect to Organization dimension, "Top Management Support" and "Vendor Support" are considered more important than others. Conclusion: Applying the TOE and HOT-fit models as the pillar of our developed model with significant findings add to the growing literature on the factors associated with the adoption of HIS and also shed some light for managers of public hospitals in Iran to successfully adopt the HIS.

Internet of things (IoT) plays a significant role in offering a wide range of benefits to the healthcare supply chain. It improves the quality of patient care, reduces the cost of medical procedures, maintaining flawless operations and supports clinical decisions. Despite strong policy interest and vast potential benefits of IoT in the healthcare supply chain, the actual adoption rate is relatively low and it's in the nascent stage in developing countries like India. The objective of this paper is to identify and analyze the potential barriers which would restrain the healthcare industry from adopting IoT. Based on the review of the literature and brainstorming with experts from industry and academia, 14 barriers were identified for IoT adoption. The contextual relationship between the identified barriers was developed using interpretive structural modeling and the obtained results were used as input to fuzzy MICMAC analysis to determine the driving and dependence power of the IoT adoption barriers. From the result, Legal and regulatory standards, Lack of IT Infrastructure are major barriers influencing the adoption of IoT in the healthcare supply chain. The findings will support the decision-makers to understand the contextual relationship between the IoT adoption barriers in the Indian healthcare supply chain.

The District Health Information Systems 2 (DHIS2) has been implemented in many countries as a standard tool for managing health information for decision making. Despite the continued adoption of this system in developing countries, some challenges affecting its effective use still exist. Previous studies have indicated that the majority of these challenges are mainly infrastructural and system related. As ICT infrastructure continues to improve, the need to investigate challenges affecting DHIS2 usage beyond infrastructural and system factors is important. In this study, factors influencing DHIS2 usage in Sierra Leone were investigated using the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. Mixed sequential explanatory design was adopted using data from 126 respondents in 10 districts followed by focus group discussions. The study found that top management support, perceived benefits, security and privacy, and compatibility were significant predictors of DHIS2 usage in Sierra Leone. Similarly, poor Internet connectivity, lack of security policies and guidelines, and shortage of qualified staff were identified as challenges affecting the effective use of DHIS2. Recommendations for helping the Ministry of Health and Sanitation in Sierra Leone and other donors to ensure that DHIS2 is effectively used are discussed.
