# Technology Acceptance in Healthcare: A Systematic Review
## 5 Discussion
Additionally, scholars have not missed the importance of exploring innovativeness, computer self-efficacy, trust, and anxiety factors. A user will not use technology if he/she does not trust the technology or its creator. Similarly,

With a link to the extensively studied factors, the analysis investigated the most confirmed hypotheses in the recent literature. It is crucial to understand those common hypotheses to let researchers understand the potential correlations between the factors within a specific model. The determination of confirmed hypotheses is essential to understand the possible significant correlations between constructs and assist researchers in developing or enhancing acceptance theories based on the findings of other scholars. The recognition of the factors and their confirmed correlations can provide a better view for decision makers and help them determine the technology's strengths and weaknesses, enhancing its level of acceptance [77]. The results found that perceived usefulness and ease of use encourage behavioral intention in healthcare. Such a result suggests that users' behavioral intention is mainly influenced by their spent efforts to use a specific technology and their belief regarding the expected benefits from using that technology [9; 78]. Additionally, the results exposed that attitude toward using technology in healthcare is widely influenced by the expected performance results and effort expectancy. This implies that the end-users have a positive attitude regarding using a specific technology to improve their work efficiency [31; 79]. It is essential to implement user-friendly solutions in healthcare to expand the positive attitude toward technology adoption [31; 61]. The relationship between social influence and both behavioral intention and perceived usefulness was extensively confirmed. This correlation suggests that users' behavioral intention to use technology is significantly influenced by their social groups and beliefs regarding the expected enhancement in performance. Regarding the studied information technologies, the analysis classified them by type and directions of countries to explore the booming topics in specific regions and countries. This can signify a lack or plethora in the literature regarding a particular technology or country. The classification of technologies can enable scholars to have a look for other technology solutions in healthcare. The results showed that telemedicine and electronic health records were the most studied technologies in general. This observation indicates that there is still room to explore the acceptance of these technologies in different countries and settings, especially that there is no specific country to lead the research. In general, the results indicated that specific technologies dominate the literature, but this conclusion is deceptive, since the literature is scattered in terms of technology use per country. There is still a gap in discovering the factors that impact the acceptance of many information technology solutions in healthcare. Those solutions can fail due to the uncertainty of adoption enablers, barriers, and users' acceptance. It is, therefore, recommended to conduct more research on the technologies that are not covered or neglected, such as picture archiving and communication systems (PACs) [9] and robotics [80]. Concerning the distribution of the participants across the technologies type, the results indicated that prior research focused on the healthcare workers (e.g., physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals) to study their acceptance of different technologies. This result can be misleading when the technology type is added. The reviewed studies could not confirm a clear focus except for the electronic health records by the aforementioned leading participants, which remains a research gap.
