“…Traditional HISs usually suffer from lack of uniform standards for data-sharing, medical records management problems, high cost of developing independent construction and system upgrade and maintenance issues (Kanagaraj and Sumathi, 2011; Lian et al , 2014; Setareh et al , 2014; Tahmasbi et al , 2016; Meri et al , 2019). As compared to traditional HISs, cloud-based HISs can enable users not only to store, manage and retrieve medical-related data via offering a flexible, scalable and low-cost solution, but also to monitor patients’ health conditions via providing a reliable, secure and accessible way on the cloud, from anywhere, at any time, with any device, by logging in on a dedicated page (Low and Chen, 2012; Lian et al , 2014; Jia et al , 2018; McConalogue et al , 2019; Meri et al , 2019; Xu et al , 2019). This is the reason why some hospitals have implemented cloud-based HISs to enable their professionals to access, save, retrieve, and share all kinds of clinical information from anywhere and at any time with unlimited storage space.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose an integrated model based on expectation-confirmation model (ECM) and technology acceptance model (TAM) to examine whether environmental, human, organizational and technology factors as the antecedents to physicians’ beliefs can affect their satisfaction and continuance intention of the cloud-based hospital information system (HIS). Design/methodology/approach Sample data for this study were collected from physicians at six hospitals in Taiwan. A total of 600 questionnaires were distributed, and 471 (78.5 per cent) usable questionnaires were analyzed using structural equation modeling in this study. Findings This study proposes a solid research model that is based on ECM and TAM, four types of factors, environmental factor, human factor, organizational factors and technology factors, as antecedents to physicians’ continuance intention of the cloud-based HIS have been examined. This study’s results strongly support the research model with all hypothesized links being significant, and control variables have no confounding effects on physicians’ continuance intention of the cloud-based HIS. Originality/value This study contributes to physicians’ continuance intention toward the cloud-based HIS based on ECM, TAM, technology-organization-environment framework and human-organization-technology fit framework, and reveals deep insights into the evaluation of determinants in the field of physicians’ continuance intention of the cloud-based HIS. Accordingly, it is particularly worth mentioning that IS and non-IS determinants are simultaneously evaluated and taken into consideration in this study’s theoretical development of physicians’ continuance intention of the cloud-based HIS to acquire a more comprehensive and robust analysis.

“…Hence, understanding and establishing common goals for this particular performance measure can prove to be difficult. Similarly McConalogue et al (2019) study indicated that advancing technologies benefits are evident despite the challenges especially for suppliers in terms of cost associated with initial set up, maintenance and learning.…”

Purpose The discussion of supplier performance assessment and implementation challenges has been evidenced well in the academic literature. However, the analysis of supplier performance assessment has been limited in terms of inclusion of suppliers’ perspective, especially in terms of what key performance indicators they deem to be relevant and aligned with their goals. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to shed light on supplier performance assessment, taking into account both manufacturing company’s and suppliers’ perspective, to evaluate to what extent the utilised performance measures are beneficial to all parties. Design/methodology/approach Based on literature review on supplier performance assessment, ten categories of performance measures were established and explored in a case study involving a UK manufacturing company and its suppliers. A questionnaire was distributed to the manufacturing company and their 30 suppliers, resulting with a total of 41 responses. Findings From the established ten categories only five categories were highly rated which were: net profits, flexibility and responsiveness, delivery performance and time and cycle time, product quality and availability, which were aligned to financial and internal business process categories. Research limitations/implications This study focused on a UK-based company and its relationship with its suppliers and how performance measures were assessed within this context. A further study needs to be conducted in terms of comparing the results of the study to other companies’ supplier performance assessment. Originality/value The research on the topic of supplier performance assessment often relates to measurement and highlights measures for assessing suppliers’ performance to a particular industry or area of performance measurement. Hence, this study embeds three distinctive angles including the academic literature on supplier performance assessment, suppliers’ and the manufacturing company’s perspectives.
