Predictors of electronic health management information system for improving the quality of care for women and people with disabilities

Abstract

The electronic Hospital management Information System (eHMIS) can improve care for vulnerable patients, help collect important disability and maternal health data, and improve the hospital’s overall data management. This study assessed the use of HMIS and factors influencing the usage and behavioral intentions to use the eHMIS at the Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania (CCBRT). We investigated both clinical and non-clinical staff (n=69) using tablets and online surveys, with a rate of return of 71.9%. The ICT staff were also interviewed to supplement data from the survey. The survey questionnaire was guided by the updated Information System Success (ISS) model. Most health workers (81.2%) used the eHMIS several times a day to support different decision-making activities. The better educated personnel were more likely to enter data more effectively into eHMIS as compared to their counterparts. Among six predictors, self-efficacy positively influenced self-reported use and user satisfaction of HMIS, while service quality negatively affected self-reported use of eHMIS. The system quality positively influenced health workers to be satisfied with the eHMIS, and user satisfaction positively influenced continued usage intention of the eHMIS. Both user satisfaction and continued usage intention were positively related to individual impact of eHMIS. Individual impact had positive effects on organizational impact of eHMIS. This is a comprehensive study conducted in Tanzania regarding the implementation of eHMIS, and factors influencing post-adoptive use of HMIS to improve quality of care of women and people with disabilities.

The Perception of Health Care Practitioners Regarding Telemedicine During COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia: Mixed Methods Study

“…When juxtaposing the telemedicine framework in Saudi Arabia with global benchmarks, several influential factors emerge, including health care infrastructure, technological accessibility, regulatory standards, and the adoption rate among end users, both the general public and health care professionals [ 31 , 32 ]. Developed countries, such as the United States, have long integrated telemedicine into their health care systems [ 33 ], offering various modalities such as videoconferencing and remote monitoring. In contrast, developing countries may face challenges such as infrastructural limitations or restricted technological access, which act as barriers to telemedicine adoption [ 34 ].…”

The influence of accounting information system on management control effectiveness: The perspective of SMEs in Yemen

“…As several earlier research in various contexts and systems (Floropoulos et al, 2010; Balaban et al, 2013; Ghobakhloo and Tang, 2015; Ojo, 2017; Ouiddad et al, 2020; Lwoga et al, 2020; Al-Okaily et al, 2021; Li and Wang, 2021), the present paper is based on DeLone and McLean (2003) (D&M) model and intended to examine the influence of AIS success on MCE among SMEs in Yemen. Consequently, the study question for this paper is: What is the influence of AIS on MCE among SMEs in Yemen?…”

Enabling Value Co-Creation in Partner Collaboration Ecosystems: An Institutional Work Perspective

“…The ISS model (DeLone & McLean, 1992) is commonly used to assess the success of IT systems under the users' evaluation (Dam et al, 2020). It includes quality factors which, hypothetically, can affect usage and user satisfaction, affecting net system benefits (Lwoga et al, 2020). For this study, we selected ISS concepts as described below.…”

“…Information quality is a critical concept in the ISS model, which plays a significant role in the usefulness of the entire system impacting ISS usage and success (Lai & Yang, 2009). It includes the following fundamental characteristics important for user needs: accurateness, objectivity, reliability, relevance, timeliness, completeness, unity, interpretability, coherence, representativeness, contextuality, accessibility and security (Lwoga et al, 2020). Having most or all of these characteristics in place may positively affect the usefulness of the entire system (Pereira et al, 2021).…”
