Many healthcare providers use health information technology to improve their performance. Picture Archiving and Communication System is a subsystem of the health information system that aims to facilitate the storing, archiving, and managing of digital images as well as their transmission. In this regard, measuring the level of acceptance of technology can be very helpful in the successful implementation of a system. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the level of acceptance of Picture Archiving and Communication System by users based on the Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire. This study was conducted in teaching hospitals of Qom, Iran (where the Picture Archiving and Communication System are currently in operation).

The present cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was performed on all the radiology staff of teaching hospitals in Qom, which is equipped with Picture Archiving and Communication System. The data were collected using the Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire and analyzed in SPSS (version 21)  and SmartPLS (version 21) software using descriptive statistics for the demographic characteristics and partial least square approach for the structural equation modeling and the path coefficients were calculated.

Based on the findings, the attitude towards usefulness had a significant correlation with the attitude towards usage (P<0.001). Moreover, attitude towards the ease of use had a significant relationship with the attitude towards usefulness (P<0.001). The attitude towards usage also had a significant association with the actual use (P<0.001). According to the table of path coefficients, the effect of ease of use on the attitude (path coefficient: 0.599) was greater than that of the ease of use (path coefficient: 0.108). It was also concluded that age and work experience did not have a significant relationship with the attitude towards ease of use, usefulness, usage, and actual use (P<0.001).

According to the results, the two variables of attitude towards ease of use and usefulness influenced the acceptance of the Picture Archiving and Communication System and should be considered in evaluations and plans.

Considering the influence of technology in all fields of medical sciences and its emergence in the country in this study, we evaluate the experiences of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences students in mobile learning in medical science education and its effective factors in comparison with FRAME model and admission model. TAM technology is a quantitative-qualitative and hybrid study.

The study was conducted in two parts: qualitative and quantitative. In the first or quantitative part, 120 questionnaires based on TAM / FRAME models were distributed randomly among Jahrom medical students from different disciplines and each questionnaire examined the dimensions and factors affecting education and Mobile learning, including the learner and social dimensions, and the interactive dimension of factors that make mobile education useful and easy to use, and perceived barriers, were analyzed using conventional content analysis. In the second or qualitative part, semi-structured and face-to-face interviews were conducted with the viewpoints of Jahrom medical science students on technology acceptance indices with 30 Jahrom medical students from different disciplines who were willing to participate in the project and the results were analyzed by descriptive statistics on different themes and subthemes up to saturation of each theme. Then, by applying the qualitative and quantitative indicators, a new technology acceptance model was obtained from Jahrom medical students.

According to the quantitative method, in TAM questionnaire the highest mean was related to perceived usefulness of technology acceptance with 3.61 and standard deviation ± 0.82 and in FRAME questionnaire the highest mean was related to perceived social dimension of technology acceptance with number. The standard deviation was 4.06 ± 0.76. In the qualitative section, the highest percentage of codecs extracted from student interviews was devoted to the 30% cost reduction theme of the benefits of using e-learning tools. According to the results obtained from both quantitative and qualitative parts, this study can be used as a new model of technology adoption.

The new model obtained from this study can be used by policy makers, designers, and managers of medical education centers to enhance their learning efficiency.

The combination of mobile technology and medical expertise introduces a new feature called mobile health care, which provides new opportunities for improving patients' health. Physician's acceptance of mobile health services is an important factor in the establishment and adaption of such services. The present study investigated the factors affecting the acceptance of health services by physicians.

In this descriptive-analytic study, 150 physicians working in Shiraz and Kazeroun were included using cluster sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires adapted from other studies. The validity and reliability of the questionnaires were confirmed. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) by Amos version 21 and SPSS version 23 software.

The effect of technology anxiety, adaption and resistance against change on perceived usefulness was significant. In addition, the effect of self-usefulness, adaptability, social norms, and resistance against change on perceived usefulness was significant. Moreover, parameters affected the intention to use via mediating variables of usefulness and perceived usefulness. The final research model had good fit indices.

According to the results, policymakers are recommended to take into account the five factors mentioned in this study, which are related to the acceptance of systems investigated here, for promoting an appropriate culture for the adaption of mobile health services by physicians.

Nowadays, although many health care organizations use electronic health-services, it seems that these services are not accepted to the extent of which were expected by the staff.

Data were analyzed by SPSS16 software and descriptive and inferential statistical tests. there was significant relationship (P=0. 02) between nurses’ education level with their reliance on IT. There was strong correlation between reliance and understanding ease of use. There wasn’t any correlation between attitude constructs، behavioral control and subjective norms with nurses’ trend to use IT. Behavioral trend to use IT is remarkably influenced by understanding ease of use. educational planners and IT managers can promote ICU nurses trend to use technology by strengthening constructs of perceiving ease of use، subjective norms and reliance

Despite all inherent advantages of information technology in health sector، its implementation still faces many problems. One of the most important barriers is people’s resistance. This study was carried out to survey the factors affecting the acceptance of information technology by Health Information Management (HIM) staff of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) hospitals based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in 2011. It is a descriptive-analytical survey. The population of the study consisted of the HIM staff (363 members) of TUMS hospitals. As the sample، 123 employees were selected. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire the validity and reliability of which were confirmed. The data were collected and analyzed by SPSS software، descriptive statistical methods and Spearman Test. The results showed that there was a positive direct relationship between perceived ease of use (PEOU) on the one hand and the staff’s attitude and their application of IT on the other hand (R=0. 14، P= 0. 05; R=0. 36، P=0. 05). Also، perceived usefulness (PU) had a significant direct effect on the staff’s attitude and their application of IT (R=0. 22، P= 0. 05; R=0. 37، P=0. 05). Perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) are the factors affecting the acceptance of information technology by the HIM staff of TUMS hospitals. Therefore، it is suggested that the above two principles be considered when designing and implementing the IT systems.
