Satisfaction with Health Informatics System Characteristics and Their Effect on Openness to Frequent Use

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Healthcare Delivery in the Information Age ((Healthcare Delivery Inform. Age))

Abstract

Clients of health informatics systems were surveyed to investigate the relationships between satisfaction with system characteristics and their effect on openness to frequent use of the health record systems. The study found that positive relationship exists between satisfaction with health informatics system availability and portability and between portability and usability. The findings interestingly highlight negative relationships between portability, security/accountability, and confidentiality on openness to use because of portability, confidentiality, and usability. The findings suggest that higher expectations of certain health informatics characteristics can often reduce client use of a health record system.
