Summary
The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is effective for assessing user acceptance of health information technology. Perceived usefulness and ease of use positively influence user attitudes toward health information management systems.
Area of Science:
- Health Information Management
- Information Technology Acceptance
- Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)
Background:
- User acceptance of IT has been studied for over 20 years.
- Health Information Management (HIM) systems require user acceptance for successful implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- Assess IT acceptance within Health Information Management (HIM).
- Evaluate the modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for HIM contexts.
- Examine the viability of TAM as a research construct in HIM.
Main Methods:
- Descriptive-analytical study.
- Sample of 187 personnel from medical records departments.
- Researcher-developed questionnaire and SPSS analysis (descriptive statistics, regression).
Main Results:
- TAM is a useful construct for assessing IT acceptance in HIM.
- Perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PE) positively correlate with user attitudes.
- Perceived usefulness (PU) showed a stronger association (r=0.22, p=0.05) than PEOU (r=0.014, p=0.05).
Conclusions:
- User perception of usefulness and ease of use are key drivers for IT acceptance in HIM.
- User acceptance is crucial for successful HIM system implementation.
- Health organizations and policymakers must prioritize user acceptance.
