A conceptualized model for the acceptance of E-health in South African hospitals.

M. Tech. Business Information Systems / The acceptance of E-health in South African Hospitals and other developing countries is slow and confusing. Healthcare professionals must be fully engaged in the E-health decision making since they are the main users of E-health systems. It is important to note that using E-health to support the daily work of healthcare professionals can improve healthcare provision and so improve citizens' health. However, investing in affordable E-health applications that can help in realising the benefits of technology and minimizing health costs is not easy. Literature shows that much as there are several studies that have been conducted in respect of technology acceptance, adoption and use, little attention has been given to E-health acceptance in South Africa. Therefore, this study sought to design a model for E-health acceptance for South African hospitals.
