Prioritizing critical factors to successful adoption of total hospital information system

Although the benefits of adopting Hospital Information System (HIS) innovation are well known, only a few hospitals in Malaysia have actually adopted it. Surprisingly, there is scarcity of study specifically in the context of Malaysia related to Total Hospital Information System (THIS) adoption. The...

Prioritizing critical factors to successful adoption of total hospital information system

To this end, this study developed a conceptual framework on the basis of Technology Organization Environment (TOE) for the adoption of THIS by Malaysian hospitals.

Then fuzzy AHP is applied to compute the weights of incorporated factors in the THIS adoption model.
