Over the past three years we conducted the qualitative research into three distinctive phases to develop an extended Task-Technology Fit (TTF) Framework. These phases are for initiating requirement generation of the framework, discovering the factors of the framework through perspectives, and evaluating the new proposed framework. The new condition is related to developing country in which various sectors such as healthcare is mostly under attention. We conduct a new inspective for assisting decisions support technology and its usefulness in this sector to integrate with other frameworks for assisting the value, use and how can be better accepted in context of healthcare professionals.
