Abstract

This paper details an empirical investigation of the factors that determine the intention of adopting and using electronic health records (EHR). The paper’s goal is a study aimed at examining the possibilities and intents towards EHR amongst healthcare professionals in Nigeria. In this study, an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) that incorporates Subjective norm, Social influence, Result demonstrability, Computer self-efficacy and System quality to the original TAM constructs was proposed. The proposed model was empirically tested using data collected from a sample of 126 healthcare professionals across 14 healthcare delivery institutions in Oyo State, Southwestern, Nigeria by applying structural equation modeling (SEM). These data were collected by administering a questionnaire containing 30 items. The results of the evaluation showed that all constructs have significant effect on healthcare professionals’ behavioural intention to use EHR.

Electronic health records technology acceptance model subjective norm social influence result demonstrability computer self-efficacy system quality.
