Ray, P. (2013). Development and validation of an instrument to measure user perceived service quality of mHealth. Information and Management, 50 (4), 181-195. Development and validation of an instrument to measure user perceived service quality of mHealth AbstractThe role of service quality in fostering the growth of mHealth services has gained much attention in the academic and practitioner communities. However, empirical research in this area has been beset by inadequate conceptualization and the lack of a validated scale. This study addresses these limitations by theoretically conceptualizing and empirically validating a multidimensional service quality scale in the mHealth context. The findings show that mHealth service quality is a hierarchical, multidimensional, and reflective construct, which consists of three primary dimensions and eight subdimensions. The results also confirm that the mHealth service quality scale is more effective at predicting satisfaction and continuance in a nomological network.

In the remaining doctors who replied on the route of morRecently medical practices including hospice care and long-term care have shifted towards home care in Japan (Kashiwagi 1991;Ikegami and Campbell 1995;Maglaveras et al 2002). More patients who are terminally ill with diseases, such as cancer, have been cared for at home (Takahashi 1998;Ebihara et al 2000).…”

Japan. We reviewed the data based on the replies to questionnaires about morphine use in a textbook edited in 2001 by the doctors supportive of home care medicine nationwide in Japan. 301 (92.9%) among 324 doctors administered morphine for athome cancer patients. 257 doctors' replies were analyzed as to the prescribed pattern of morphine after excluding data without information on the administration route. The oral administration was most frequently used in 247 (96.1%) doctors and rectal administration was used in 217 (84.4%) doctors, while intravenous injection and epidural infusions were less common. The pattern of morphine administration was similar between doctors who worked at hospitals and clinics, except that doctors who worked at hospitals administered subcutaneously more frequently than doctors who worked at clinics (69.2% in the hospital vs. 39.4% in the clinic setting). This study has revealed that morphine is commonly prescribed to control pain in at-home cancer patients by doctors who support home care medicine in Japan. The restricted administration routes of morphine among the doctors and less prevalent use of the subcutaneous routes in doctors who work at clinics are also shown in the home cancer care setting. These findings might result from mutual relationship between the thought and experience of doctors and clinical characteristics of patients under home care medicine. home care; palliative care; cancer pain; administration of morphine; treatment

Now we move on to highlighting some of the pervasive healthcare projects [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] that are in full swing at different universities and institutions with the objective of providing more and more assistance to the elderly and ill people.…”
