Determining the Factors Affecting the Adoption of Hospital Information Management System Technologies: A Public Hospital Example

Hospital information management systems (HIMS) are used in many hospitals today. The use of these systems is expected to increase the efficiency of hospitals and the satisfaction of patients. These systems, which enable the collection, organization and use of information about patients, are of great importance for an effective hospital management. It is of great importance that users participate in the development and evaluation processes of information systems so that problems do not arise in the adoption and use of systems. Obtaining users' views on the system plays a critical role in ensuring good development of the systems and easy adoption by users. Aiming to contribute to the more effective use of systems, this study aims to determine the factors that affect the acceptance of HIMS technologies by healthcare professionals. The questionnaire form prepared for this purpose was applied to nurses working in a public hospital between May and July 2022. According to the results of the research, it was determined that personal, technological and organizational factors positively and significantly affect the variables of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. At the same time, it was determined that the variables of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use affect technology acceptance positively and significantly.
