Evaluation of Healthcare IT Applications: The User Acceptance Perspective

  • Chapter
Advanced Computational Intelligence Paradigms in Healthcare-2

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 65))

As healthcare costs continue to spiral upward, healthcare institutions are under enormous pressure to create cost efficient systems without risking quality of care. Healthcare IT applications provide considerable promises for achieving this multifaceted goal through managing inofrmation, reducing costs, and facilitating total quality management and continuous quality improvement programs. However, the desired outcome can not be achieved if these applications are not being used.
