“…25 Also, Farzandipur reported that the knowledge and skills to use computers are the main human factors affecting the successful implementation of e-health as well as a greater tendency for users to use the system. 26 To improve the general knowledge and skills of users in using computers, it is recommended that the ICDL courses for users should be taken seriously.…”

Background: The internet is a powerful worldwide communication medium that provides its users with immediate information irrespective of their location, culture, language and time. E-health service will have a great impact in reducing the costs of health care, increasing satisfaction of patients and health professionals, and minimizing the burden on health facilities. Objective: This study aims to determine the proportion of patients who obtain health-related information through the internet as well as factors that could affect using the internet for seeking health information. Subjects and methods: This study was conducted in six general hospitals in Kuwait. A cross-sectional study was adopted to determine the proportion of patients who obtain health-related information through the internet. It was followed by a case-control study to determine factors that could be associated with online search of health information. A questionnaire was used which included data related to sociodemographic characteristics, clinical history and computer experience. The final analysis included 220 participants. Results: The majority of participants (93.2%) mentioned that they have used the internet for one or more purposes. Only 129 participants (62.9%) used the internet for obtaining health related information. All studied socio-demographic factors, except age and marital state, and computer skills variables had significant effect on on-line search for health information. After adjustment for confounding, only gender, nationality, level of education, and using computer at work were proved to be significant determinants of the outcome of interest. Conclusion: It is important to close the gap in health literacy and increase the use of health information technology to support patient self-management. The creation of an eHealth-literate population should be a priority in Kuwaiti public health policy.

“…The implantation of technological innovations generally promotes resistance and discomfort to the adopters, especially when they represent an innovation that breaks with the processes/paradigms adopted previously. Such feelings should be considered and mitigated with a view to accepting innovation, since they are considered human factors influencing the success of an information system (26) .…”

Objective: To analyze the diffusion of e-SUS Primary Care innovation in Family Health Teams. Method: A qualitative approach case study, based on Innovation Diffusion Theory and Technology Acceptance Model. We conducted 62 interviews and observation of professionals from Family Health Teams in six municipalities of Minas Gerais State, between March 2016 and January 2017. The data were treated through Categorical Thematic Content Analysis and, systematized, with Atlas.ti software . Results: It was verified that although the e-SUS Primary Care strategy is recognized as a technological innovation, situations predominate that weaken its acceptance as: incompatibilities with the work process; sudden deployment, poor training; work overload; resistance; and negative impacts on health care. Conclusion: The diffusion of the e-SUS Primary Care strategy as a technological innovation has presented potential situations of its rejection, conforming as challenges to be overcome.

“…The factors that might affect MIS implementation in public institutions were measured by the human factors, organizational factors, technological factors and environmental factors adapted from Fu et al [10], Al-Mamary et al [5] and Farzandipur et al [3]. Seven items based on Zhu and Nakata [15] and Al-Gharaibeh and Malkawi [11] were used to measure MIS implementation (IT/IS capability and information service quality).…”

“…Lipaj and Davidavičienė [1] and Kharuddin et al [2] indicated that one of these reasons is related to the role that MISs play in business performance enhancement. Although many organizations have adopted MISs, not all of them have achieved the presumed benefits [3]. Hence, considerable attention has been paid to the factors that play a critical role in the successful implementation of MIS.…”

“…The results indicated that these two variables significantly reduced IS implementation problems. Farzandipur et al [3] sorted the factors affecting the implementation of MISs in hospitals into human factors (computer skills, IS usefulness and IS ease of use), managerial and organizational factors (IS project management, IS cost, training, user participation and IS confidentiality) and technological factors (support, safety, development and communication). Rahimi et al [9] brought user participation in the development stages of IS to light as a critical factor that affects the development of ISs in hospitals.…”

Abstract-Six constructs were utilized in this study to explore the factors affecting MIS implementation in Jordanian public institutions and to investigate the impact of MIS implementation on organizational (operational) performance. They were human factors, organizational factors, technological factors, environmental factors, MIS implementation components and organizational performance. The required data were collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire developed based on the literature review. Human factors were conceptualized as users' computer skills and experience, IS usefulness and IS ease of use. Organizational factors were assessed using three sub-indicators, which were top-management support, user training and IS confidentiality. Technological factors were evaluated by systematic quality, information quality and service quality. The overall industry, industry environment and external pressure were three indicators used to measure the environmental factors. Two variables were selected to measure MIS implementation: IT/IS capability and technological aspects related to information service quality. Since the current study tackled public institutions, the indicators of organizational performance were limited to operational ones. The questionnaire was distributed to 125 informants from IT/IS departments. The findings of the study indicated the acceptance of the hypothesis that the factors in question are significantly and positively related to MIS implementation, which in turn, when measured by IT/IS capability and information service quality, significantly and positively affect organizational performance. The main contribution provided by this study is that MIS implementation is not limited to information technology and systems capabilities and usefulness. Other factors should be considered, particularly when examining the impact of MIS implementation on organizational performance.
