Abstract

Within the context of this paper, we describe the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in health care. The adoption of ICT in health care is referred to as eHealth. The health care industry since the inception of eHealth has applied the technology in many areas of his activities; recently research focus is on patient usage of the technology. Unfortunately, health care professionals are yet to optimize the usage of this technology in their operational activities. The notion of this paper is to model the factors that prevent the professionals in the usage of this technology. We also discuss various variables that can contribute to the successful use of the technology and how this variable can be measured based on the theoretical roots of the underlying models that constitute the proposed model.
