Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System01:29

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

Drug Control Governance: Regulatory Bodies and Their Impact

Drug control governance involves the oversight and regulation of pharmaceuticals to ensure their safety and efficacy while preventing illegal drug use and trafficking. Regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's European Medicines Agency (EMA), play a central role in this process. These agencies evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs before they can be marketed. They fund clinical trials and assess the benefits and risks associated with a...

Scale-Up Processes01:14

Scale-Up Processes

The scale-up of microbial fermentation processes is essential in industrial biotechnology, allowing the transition from laboratory-scale experiments to commercial-scale production while aiming to maintain product yield and quality. This process requires meticulous adjustment of equipment design, process parameters, and contamination control strategies to accommodate increasing culture volumes.At the laboratory scale, cultures are typically maintained in 1 to 10-liter glass or autoclavable...
Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...
Global Regulatory Systems01:28

Global Regulatory Systems

Global regulatory systems in bacteria enable rapid and coordinated responses to environmental changes by integrating sensory inputs with gene expression, ensuring efficient adaptation to fluctuating conditions. Key global regulatory mechanisms include regulons, two-component systems, sigma factors, and secondary messengers.Regulons and Global RegulatorsA regulon is a collection of genes and operons controlled by a common global regulator. These regulators enable bacteria to prioritize resource...

Area of Science:

  • Information Systems
  • Public Administration
  • Technology Adoption

Background:

  • Blockchain technology offers potential benefits for governmental operations, including enhanced security and transparency.
  • Public sector adoption of new technologies like Blockchain faces unique challenges, such as regulatory hurdles and data sensitivity.
  • The Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework provides a robust model for analyzing technology adoption within complex organizational settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors influencing Blockchain adoption in Sri Lankan governmental operations.
  • To propose a comprehensive adoption framework for Blockchain technology tailored to the Sri Lankan public sector.
  • To understand the interplay of technological, organizational, and environmental factors in public sector Blockchain adoption.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework to analyze adoption factors.
  • Employed statistical methods, including structural equation modeling (SEM), for data analysis.
  • Collected data through a structured questionnaire distributed to Grade I-IT Directors in Sri Lankan government institutions.

Main Results:

  • All technological, organizational, and environmental dimensions of the TOE framework significantly correlate with the intention to adopt Blockchain.
  • Key predictors for adoption intention include trust, compatibility, security, authority support, monetary resources, rivalry pressure, and regulatory support.
  • Relative advantage, IT resources, business partner pressure, and firm size showed limited or no significant impact on adoption intention.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides an empirically grounded framework for understanding Blockchain adoption intention in the Sri Lankan public sector.
  • Findings offer practical implications for policymakers and IT leaders planning Blockchain implementation in government.
  • Addressing identified key factors can facilitate successful Blockchain adoption within Sri Lankan governmental operations.
