Evaluation and analysis of technology acceptance of healthcare professionals in Karnataka, South India

The diffusion of ICT - Information and Communication Technology has witnessed a remarkable growth in the Past decade across the globe. This growth is fuelled and propelled by technological advances, economic investment, social and cultural changes that have facilitated the integration of ICT into everyday life. As information technology in the healthcare industry evolves, the scope of information sharing is expanding beyond four walls of individual institutions. Achieving this level of integration will require the software models overcome a host of technical obstacles and they are accessible, affordable and widely supported primarily from the government. Indian healthcare sector is undergoing a transformation with improved services becoming available to a larger population. Indian healthcare is substantially poised under the influence of government and diplomatic beliefs, interests and the state of affairs of the economic conditions rather than the documentation and conformation of the facts and figures. There have been many attempts to improve quality and investment in healthcare, but most have been based on management fads and have been unsustainable. In this paper we have evaluated the technology acceptance and financial investment of healthcare professionals from field survey.
