Physicians in developing countries are interested in using computers for health care. However, a significant information gap exists, with less experienced users showing reservations about computer technology adoption.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Technology Adoption

Background:

  • The World Health Organization recommends computer use for cost-effective healthcare delivery.
  • Adequate healthcare relies on substantial information management.
  • Assessing user acceptance, skills, and learning ability for computer technology is often overlooked in system implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate end-user acceptance of computer technology in healthcare within a developing country.
  • To identify factors influencing the adoption of computer systems among healthcare professionals.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted among end-users in a rapidly developing nation.
  • Data was collected on user experience, information levels, and attitudes towards computer technology.

Main Results:

  • Physicians expressed interest in utilizing computers in their practice.
  • A notable information gap was identified regarding computer technology.
  • Users with prior experience and information were more receptive to computers as decision support tools.
  • Users lacking experience demonstrated reservations about adopting computer systems.

Conclusions:

  • Physician interest in healthcare computing is high, but practical implementation faces challenges due to an information deficit.
  • Bridging the information gap is crucial for successful computer technology integration and maximizing its potential as a decision support tool in healthcare settings.
