Summary
Blockchain adoption in healthcare is influenced by trust, transparency, cost, and readiness. Government pressure hinders adoption, while hospital ownership type has no impact on these factors.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Information Systems
- Blockchain Technology
Background:
- Blockchain offers secure, decentralized health record management, but adoption in healthcare is limited.
- Understanding adoption barriers and drivers is crucial for successful implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify factors influencing healthcare providers' intention to adopt blockchain technology in hospitals.
- To propose and evaluate a theoretical model integrating multiple frameworks.
Main Methods:
- A quantitative approach using an online survey of 199 hospitals.
- Data analysis via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).
Main Results:
- Technology trust, transparency, cost-effectiveness, and readiness positively influenced adoption intention.
- Top management and partner support, vendor support, fit, and viability were key drivers.
- Governmental coercive pressure negatively impacted adoption decisions.
Conclusions:
- Multiple technological, organizational, and environmental factors significantly impact blockchain adoption intention in hospitals.
- The findings provide actionable insights for stakeholders to promote blockchain in healthcare.

The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...
