Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Economics, Business and Management - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Technology application in health care in the form of Electronic Health Record (EHR) is the most important factor to improve the quality of health care and a technique to integrate information. The purpose of the present study is to determine the factors affecting EHR system`s acceptance in health care centers based on TTF and UTAUT models. The research has been conducted as a descriptive-survey study investigating a population of 136 staffs working in the health care centers of Lorestan`s cities. The statistical sample includes 101 people selected using stratified random sampling. The data has been gathered using questionnaire. The ranking of the factors affecting EHR indicates the facilitating conditions or technology features in the first place, the social effects in the second place, the task features or performance expectancy in the third place, the effort expectancy in the fourth place, and the task appropriateness in the fifth place. The comparison of the affecting factors` mean reveals that there is a significant difference between the means of task appropriateness based on users’ educational level (P=0.0032) but in other areas, there is no significant relation between the means of responses based on gender, education and work experience of users and their skill to use technology. Considering the fact that technology features or facilitating condition is a main factor affecting EHR acceptance among users, it seems necessary to take the information technology infrastructures and facilities associated with this process into consideration to guarantee the proper attitude of users towards the system.
