Technology acceptance model in the use of a patient management software in a dental school in the Philippines
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The technology acceptance model (TAM) has been used to gauge the use of information technology (IT) in healthcare. Incrementally, dentists and dental students of developing nations have been using IT through patient management software. Materials and methods: With a response rate of the participants at 100%, composed of 90 junior and senior dental interns, selected through purposive sampling, this cross-sectional survey gauged the perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of a dental patient management software in a dental school in the Philippines. This survey utilized a standardized questionnaire after the participants were made to use the software. Results: The dental students perceived the dental patient management software to be quite useful (wm=5.99) and extremely easy to use (wm=6.22). A significant relationship also exists between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of the patient management software (0.45322). Conclusion: The dental students perceived the dental patient management software to be useful and easy to use in the dental infirmary of this dental school. TAM is also implicated to be a useful model and a determinant of the dental students perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the IT healthcare device. This study supports and contributes to the TAM in the healthcare setting.
