Abstract:

The resistance to Information and communication technology (ICT) usage is a well-known matter in healthcare area. This study proposes a model that explains the intention of ICT application by physicians and nurses who are involved in the process of care. A survey was conducted in public healthcare centers in Agadir city, located in south of Morocco, to examine the proposed model and to confirm factors that affect positively this intention. Decision makers in healthcare organizations and CIO should consider the importance of these factors to boost the intention of practitioners to use and adopt HIS systems.
