A Review of the Technology Acceptance Model in Electronic Health Records

Over the years, many theories and models have been proposed to explain and interpret behaviours related to the acceptance and usage of technology. The technology acceptance model (TAM), which has been tested in different technological applications, is the most well-known of these models. This article reviews previously published research on the application of TAM to electronic health records. According to the findings of this review, the original TAM was updated and extended to fit the dynamic healthcare service environment by absorbing and integrating variables from various theoretical frameworks as well as by adding variables in specific contextual settings. This demonstrates how the TAM model has been adapted and expanded to meet the specific demands of the healthcare industry, emphasising its usefulness in various settings.
