Understanding and Addressing the ‘fit’ Between User, Technology and Organization in Evaluating User Acceptance of Healthcare Technology
Year: 2012
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the importance of addressing the ‘fit’ between user, technology and organization
in evaluating user acceptance of healthcare technology. We give an overview of evaluation dimensions and
explore two models that are related to ‘fit’. We demonstrate how users’ acceptance factors in previous studies
could be better explained through the perspective of ‘fit’ between user, technology and organization. We
believe that the importance of ‘fit’ needs to be understood in greater detail among the evaluation research
community. The ‘fit’ between user, technology, and organization needs to be addressed together with the
factors that influence user acceptance. This paper attempts to gain empirical support for the inclusion of ‘fit’
between user, technology and organization when evaluating user acceptance of the healthcare technology.
