Objectives: Electronic medical records (EMRs) are an innovative application of information technology in the medical field. Relevant studies have pointed out that when staffs are more innovative and accepting of change in general, they are more able to use new technologies to adapt to new jobs and procedural changes. Therefore, this study sought to understand medical information administrators' technology readiness index (TRI) as well as their satisfaction with and continued use EMRs. Methods: This study was to integrate technology readiness into the post-acceptance model of Information system continuance for explaining individuals' continuance of EMR usage. A total of 121 questionnaires were sent out, with 101 completed copies returned, indicating a valid response rate of 84.2%. The collected data was then analyzed by WarpPLS v4. Results: The results show that optimism, innovativeness and discomfort of TRI had significant effects on the perceived usefulness. The optimism and innovativeness had significant effects on confirmation. The optimism had significant effects on the continued use. Further, the perceived usefulness had a significant effect on the satisfaction and continued use. The confirmation had significant effects on the perceived usefulness and satisfaction. Conclusions: The establishment of factors that influence medical information administrators' satisfaction with and continued use of EMRs can be provided to hospitals for the promotion of EMR systems and to improve TRI, system use satisfaction, and EMR effectiveness. |
