“…When the researchers consider the major theories (such as TAM, TPB, IDT and UTAUT), it was observed that there have been important improvements on the theories over the time (expanding with additional variables). However, in each study, almost similar technologies, which were HIS and mobile systems to use for medical communication and health services, were tested [4,19,20,50,51]. Furthermore, variables in HIS and mobile system acceptance studies were also observed to be similar as well as the explained variances of relations.…”

“…In the bottom line, the studies presented similarities in HIS and m-Health domains and suggested further research about investigating influencing factors and identifying key variables in different branches of health services [10,20,23,45]. In this context, non-communicable diseases were presented as one of the intact field of study in terms of acceptance [21].…”

“…With this respect, PU, PEOU, compatibility, self-efficacy, training and support, personal innovativeness, SN were identified as prominent factors in adoption of mobile health services by health professionals [19,50,51]. In addition to that, hospital type [51] and age [20] were found as influencing mediating factors. From another point of view, in a study of mobile healthcare service for patients, it was found that perceived usefulness, perceived ease-of-use, external cues to actions, and innovativeness influencing factors of BI [23].…”

“…In this case, it is a need to figure the influencing factors for mobile health services in order to assess the effective use of the services. Literature provided that recent studies aimed to investigate the acceptance of mobile health services including management systems for patients and professionals [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

This paper presented a literature review research about health professionals' acceptance of HIS and m-Health based on a systematic review procedure. The results were derived from 31 scholar studies of which consisted of 27 HIS studies and 4 m-Health studies. It was aimed to provide insight about acceptance theories and constructs being employed to assess current health information systems and their implementation on mobile platform. Results presented the relevance and contradictions in theories in comparison to HIS and m-Health domains. It is believed that this study can bring new measures in determining influencing factors of m-Health technology users, which can lead the researchers to develop effective models, and so, to assist the developers to improve applications of HIS in the mobile platform.

“…Moreover, the empirical results signify that facilitating conditions have a direct effect on actual usage and not on behavioral intention [12]. There are studies that indicate the insignificant role of subjective norms in healthcare professional’s decision making about using IT because of the self-autonomy of the professionals [1,15,17,18]. There are studies that report otherwise [19,20].…”

BackgroundComputer-based clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are regarded as a key element to enhance decision-making in a healthcare environment to improve the quality of medical care delivery. The concern of having new CDSS unused is still one of the biggest issues in developing countries for the developers and implementers of clinical IT systems. The main objectives of this study are to determine whether (1) the physician’s perceived professional autonomy, (2) involvement in the decision to implement CDSS and (3) the belief that CDSS will improve job performance increase the intention to adopt CDSS. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested.MethodsA questionnaire-based survey conducted between July 2010 and December 2010. The study was conducted in seven public and five private hospitals in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Before contacting the hospitals, necessary permission was obtained from the Ministry of Health, Malaysia and the questionnaire was vetted by the ethics committee of the ministry. Physicians working in 12 hospitals from 10 different specialties participated in the study. The sampling method used was stratified random sampling and the physicians were stratified based on the specialty. A total of 450 physicians were selected using a random number generator. Each of these physicians was given a questionnaire and out of 450 questionnaires, 335 (response rate – 74%) were returned and 309 (69%) were deemed usable.ResultsThe hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Salient results are: (1) Physicians’ perceived threat to professional autonomy lowers the intention to use CDSS (p < 0.01); (2) Physicians involvement in the planning, design and implementation increases their intention to use CDSS (p < 0.01); (3) Physicians belief that the new CDSS will improve his/her job performance increases their intention to use CDSS (p < 0.01).ConclusionThe proposed model with the three main constructs (physician’s professional characteristic, involvement and belief) explains 47% of the variance in the intention to use CDSS. This is significantly higher than the models addressed so far. The results will have a major impact in implementing CDSS in developing countries.
