Investigating the his adoption in private healthcare sector in Iraq using utaut model

The study emphasizes the implications of technology integration across the private healthcare sector of Iraq. In this regard, the study has focused the technology of HIS "Health Information System", as the potential construct of electronic - health (e-health) systems. The relevant literature has been reviewed to gain insights on e-health and the significance of HIS adoption as well, followed by the identification of certain challenges or constraints towards HIS adoption across the Iraqi healthcare domain. Accordingly, the research has also assessed the effectiveness of deploying UTAUT model for determining the adoption of HIS technology across the targeted domain. By means of conducting an online survey across 250 randomly sampled participants, the researcher has gained 204 valid responses. Factor analysis, Correlation analysis, and Regression analysis techniques have governed the effectiveness of the UTAUT model in terms of assessing the adoption of HIS across the private healthcare sector of Iraq. Three of the null hypotheses have been rejected and one of them has been accepted, ascertaining the significant impacts of the v identified variables (Performance Expectancy (PE), Social Influence (SI), and Facilitating Conditions (FC)) on the Behavioural Intention (BI) towards HIS adoption, except Effort Expectancy (EE). Furthermore, User Behaviour (UB) also has a significant relationship with the Behavioural Intention (BI).
