“…Before mentioning these motivators and barriers in details it can be clustered and classified into higher categories, Showell defined these categories as demographic, capabilities, health related, PHR related and attitudinal factors (Showell, 2017), it has been categorized also as personal factors, human-technology interaction factors, organizational factors and social factors (Abd-alrazaq et al, 2019a). (Alzahrani & Daim, 2019) presented a potential classification to the factors affecting adoption of tethered ePHR into seven main categories including the determinants of patients' intention to use ePHR for self-management in the below figure 2.20 (Alzahrani & Daim, 2019). Alzahrani & Daim mentioned the most related factors to the case of tethered ePHR which might be relevant to study in the case of standalone ePHR, the following section will discuss some of the important factors that can be relevant to the current research context in Egypt.…”

“…As shown in table 1 , these studies from different contexts, countries and cultures assures that the perception of the usefulness and benefit of ePHR is a strong motivator for the intention to use by adults and needs to be studied as well in Egyptian context. Perceived ease of use usability of PHR is considered an essential determinant in the adoption process (Alzahrani & Daim, 2019). While reviewing the literature it was found that usability of ePHR has been tested in several studies using two variables which are perceived ease of use adapted from TAM and effort expectancy adapted from UTAUT.…”

“…Health status has been identified across literature as one of the ePHR adoption barriers (Showell, 2017), it is a health-related factor and it's another important factor that should be considered when it comes to the adoption of ePHR as the health status of individuals has proven to have a relationship with ePHR adoption, several studies examined the adoption of ePHR for chronically ill patients to manage their health condition and it was found that patients with chronic conditions have higher intention to use ePHR and better adoption rates than other patients with less complex conditions or healthy individuals (Alzahrani & Daim, 2019).…”

Standalone electronic personal health record can be a useful tool that enables individuals to store, arrange and share their health information easily and they can build a history of their health timeline which is crucial for raising healthcare quality and better self-management, the adoption rate of these applications has been identified in several countries to be low and slowly progressing.Although there are some applications of standalone ePHR available in the market for usage free of charge but it’s almost not adopted at all, this study will investigate some of the factors that might affect the adoption of ePHR technology by adults in Egypt and provide business professionals a better picture for what can motivate or hinder the adoption process to achieve better adoption rates and eliminate the barriers.In order to ensure a comprehensive contextual analysis, researchers analyzed the research in hand with the perspective of the proposed contextual framework, the Nine Elements Framework/Model (Elsafty, 2018) that analyzes social studies research in general, and business/management reseaerches as well.Using the nine elements framework, the authors used it to discover the underlying factors that are causing the problems faced by the research in hand, and resulted in the coming contextual analysis defining the research scope and focus, which in the case of this paper is on Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were adapted from TAM that was initially developed by Fred Davis (1989) and they proved to have a high predictive power of behavioral intention in CHI context, The extensions of TAM including UTAUT & UTAUT2 seems to be irrelevant to this research context since UTAUT is more oriented towards the organizational context (Venkatesh et al., 2012) and UTAUT2 added factors, Price value seems to be irrelevant in this research context as we are already studying platforms that are provided free of charge, Hedonic motivation maybe irrelevant to this context as healthcare related service is mostly associated with seriousness and urgency, also testing unimplemented platforms that are not yet adopted makes from the habit unrealistic experience that may be inaccurate to measure.Since other several researches recommended extending these factors with other additional factors to make it more relevant to the healthcare consumer context (Kim & Park, 2012), these factors may include health-related factors, technology-related factors and personal-related factors. Findings in this research revealed that adoption rate in Egypt is still very low and high demand for this service which makes this research is significant as it’s trying to find out the reasons behind this gap, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, (privacy and security), eHealth literacy, personalization and awareness had a significant impact on behavioral intention to use standalone ePHR applications. Personalization was found to have the strongest effect on behavioral intention followed by perceived usefulness. Health status was found to have an insignificant effect on behavioral intention which indicates the interest of people with different health statuses in standalone ePHR.

“…Following up with the newly available guidelines (named Stage 2 meaningful use) that were issued by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, health-care organizations must not only implement patient portals but they must also determine how effectively patients use them (Tavares et al, 2018). Two main components of TAM (PU and PEOU) are important to consider when investigating the patient's perspective toward the e-health system usage (Al-Gahtani, 2011; Alzahrani and Daim, 2019). PU refers to the extent to which a patient believes that using the portal will enhance his or her task performance (Venkatesh, 2000).…”

Purpose This paper proposes a Web-based patient portal based on the electronic medical record. Such a portal can allow patients to manage their own health care, reduce health-care visits and significantly improve the quality of their health care. Design/methodology/approach A patient portal prototype and an accompanying online survey were distributed to assess the adoption readiness among a group of people in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Findings The results from 470 survey participants demonstrated an enhanced awareness of this technology, and support the study hypotheses indicating that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors are important when considering the implementation of a patient portal in the UAE. Originality/value This study adds value to the few research studies undertaken in the Middle East discussing online health information technology and its adoption and usage among the population at large. The extended technology acceptance model, which contains two additional constructs, had not been previously validated in terms of a patient portal in the UAE, according to the author’s knowledge, adding more value. The UAE’s health-care system must use the benefits from the available IT infrastructure to provide a user-friendly online portal to encourage patients to manage their health care and health information.
