“…We took a factor modeling approach to investigate important factors that affect the adoption of telemedicine technology by health care organizations. Understandably, telemedicine can be applied to support various activities in health care, including service collaboration and delivery and information exchange [45]. A survey of the existing telemedicine programs in Hong Kong suggested a prominent clinical focus, which therefore, was targeted in the study.…”

Recent advances in information and biomedicine technology have significantly increased the technical feasibility, clinical viability, and economic affordability of telemedicine-enabled service collaboration and delivery. Health care organizations around the world have become increasingly interested in acquiring and implementing telemedicine technology to improve or extend existing patient care and services. The ultimate success of telemedicine in an adopting organization requires adequate attention to both technological and managerial issues. This study examined organizational technology adoption, an essential management issue facing many health care organizations interested in or currently evaluating telemedicine. On the basis of a framework proposed by Tornatzky and Fleischer [1], we developed a research model for targeted technology adoption and empirically evaluated it in a survey study that involved most of the public health care organizations in Hong Kong. Results from our exploratory study suggest that the model exhibits reasonable significance and explanatory utility to differentiate between adopting and nonadopting organizations. Specifically, the collective attitude of medical staff and perceived service risks were found to be significant determinants of targeted technology adoption. Several research and management implications that emerged from our study findings are also discussed.

“…2002). Generally research findings highlight direct precursors or individual characteristics of trust such as reputation, authority, prior familiarity, competence, reliability, openness, integrity, benevolence and institutional safeguards (Jarvenpaa, J. S., Knoll, K., & Leidner, D. E. 1998, Paul, D. L. 2000, Mayer, R. C., Davis, J. H., & Schoorman, F. D. 1995. This elucidates trust akin to the construct itself.…”

Trusting any information on web is psychosomatic and subliminal by nature. The decision is left on the requestor to assess, judge and corroborate the contents contained in the websites before perceiving it. This is of acute concern when websites deal with sensitive issues like health. There is no standard mechanism that embodies or characterizes how to make these ‘trust' decisions. Although all the web users make these decisions on a frequent basis, there is no method to comply with the rationale to take such decisions. This paper is an attempt to provide a solution to the problem of ‘how much the content, typically provided by any health related website should be trusted?' A probing has been done to study the users' behavior on these websites. This cram makes use of real-time analytical data collected from similarweb.com for hundred health related websites to analyze web users' behavior. The goalmouth is to develop a novel technique to re-rank search results using TRUST as a deciding factor so that more trustworthy web links appears higher in the results list. The aim is to determine and discern the users' attitudinal factors that can be captured in practice without user interaction and also capitalize on the quality of the trust estimates.

“…One key characteristic of the tele-ICU is that the relationship between healthcare practitioners in the tele-ICUs and monitored ICUs is a form of virtual collaboration: “the process of two or more geographically separated health care providers collaborating via information technology to provide value-added health care delivery” [1]. The literature shows that virtual collaboration can be a double-edged sword: on the one hand it can improve resource utilization, lower costs, and increase flexibility, responsiveness, and timeliness, but on the other hand it can decrease individual commitment and autonomy; increase role overload, role ambiguity and workload; create communication problems and conflicts; and decrease trust [2–5].…”

Purpose To examine how tele-ICU nurse characteristics and organizational characteristics influence tele-ICU nurses’ trust and satisfaction of monitored bedside ICU nurses, and whether these influences are mediated by communication. Materials and Methods Data of tele-ICU characteristics and characteristics of the ICUs they monitored were collected at 5 tele-ICUs located throughout the country. 110 tele-ICU nurses at those tele-ICUs completed a questionnaire containing items related to their characteristics and their trust, satisfaction, and perceived communication with monitored bedside nurses. We analyzed the data using a hierarchical path model, with communication variables entered as mediators. Results Many of the tele-ICU nurse characteristics (age, currently or previously worked at the monitored ICU, hours worked per week, and years as a ICU nurse) had statistically significant direct effects on perception of communication timeliness, accuracy, and openness, as well as trust and satisfaction with monitored bedside ICU nurses. Communication openness mediated the relationships of both working at a monitored ICU and being older (≥55) on satisfaction. Communication accuracy mediated the relationships of both a specialized monitored ICU and working at a monitored ICU on trust. Conclusions Tele-ICUs and monitored ICUs should work to optimize communication so that trust can be established among the nurses.
