“…The stakeholders involved in online dental learning from nine countries were invited to complete the online Survey of Barriers in Online Learning Education in Health Professional Schools (SBOLEHPS). This survey was developed by the authors to cover aspects of known barriers in the literature (6): support (including financial) and resources (12,13,18,23), developmental issues and concerning the online learning tool itself (14,15,18), concerning the end-users (11,16,18,19), faculty attitudes and barriers (23-25), and cognitive abilities (i.e. computer self-efficacy) (13).…”

Telemedicine is a technological tool that is improving the health of children around the world. This report chronicles the use of telemedicine by pediatricians and pediatric medical and surgical specialists to deliver inpatient and outpatient care, educate physicians and patients, and conduct medical research. It also describes the importance of telemedicine in responding to emergencies and disasters and providing access to pediatric care to remote and underserved populations. Barriers to telemedicine expansion are explained, such as legal issues, inadequate payment for services, technology costs and sustainability, and the lack of technology infrastructure on a national scale. Although certain challenges have constrained more widespread implementation, telemedicine’s current use bears testimony to its effectiveness and potential. Telemedicine’s widespread adoption will be influenced by the implementation of key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, technological advances, and growing patient demand for virtual visits.

“…The same relationship was positive and signi cant in Tubaishat's (2017) study, which applied TAM to investigate nurses' use behavior of an EHR system. Similarly, many studies have con rmed this relationship from physicians' perspective, such as studies by Alsharo et al (2019), Chen and Hsiao (2012), and Yarbrough and Smith (2007). In addition, a study conducted by Or et al (2011) to examine home-care patients' acceptance of a web-based and interactive self-management technology revealed that PEOU did not directly affect the BI, but it had a signi cant impact on PU.…”

“…A HIS is de ned as "a comprehensive, integrated information system designed to manage the administrative, nancial and clinical aspects of a hospital. It aims to achieve the best possible support of patient care and administration by electronic data processing" (Ismail et al, 2010, p. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. A HIS can also be de ned as "an information system that performs the function of processing data, information and knowledge in the secondary and tertiary healthcare levels" (Lee et al, 2011(Lee et al, , p. 2129(Lee et al, -2140.…”

Abstract Background The employment of IT in healthcare reflects a need to meet the increasing demands of patients and to upgrade the quality and productivity of the provided services. However, the literature demonstrates many failures in systems and IT technology implementation in the context of healthcare. One of the reasons behind these failures is users’ resistance to accept such new technology. The ministry of health in Saudi Arabia has prioritized the embracing of new technologies that could level up the healthcare service, such as the adoption of electronic medical record (EMR) systems. On the other hand, studies that address the acceptance and use of hospital information systems and EMRs in Saudi Arabia from patients’ points of view are scarce. The aim of this study was to explore patients’ acceptance of an EMR system by testing a proposed theoretical model adapted from the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). Methods An online questionnaire was used where questions were based on the proposed model constructs (facilitating conditions, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude, and behavioral intention). One hundred sixteen patients responded to the questionnaire. The model was then tested using the structural equation modeling method to identify the factors that affect patients’ intention to use the online services of the EMR. Results The analysis of the research model suggested that (1) facilitating conditions that involved patients’ knowledge, skills, and the provided support by the hospital directly influenced the degree of perceived ease of use (PEOU) of the system. (2) PEOU directly affected the EMR’s perceived usefulness (PU). (3) PU directly affected patients’ attitudes (ATT) toward using the EMR. (4) A positive effect is found between ATT and the behavioral intention to use EMR. Conclusion The study results have implications for healthcare IT acceptance research and efforts in Saudi Arabia, as to date patients’ perspectives have received little attention. The research also makes a theoretical contribution as it validated the proposed model, which integrated constructs from TAM and UTAUT.
