Developing an extended technology acceptance model: Doctor's acceptance of electronic medical records in Jordan

The purpose of this study is to construct doctors’ acceptance model of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in private hospitals.The model extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with two factors of Individual Capabilities; Self-Efficacy (SE) and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC).The initial findings proposes additional factors over the original factors in TAM making Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease Of Use (PEOU), Behavioral Intention to use (BI), SE, and PBC working in incorporation.A cross-sectional survey was used in which data were gathered by a personal administered questionnaire as the instrument for data collection.Doctors of public hospitals were involved in this study which proves that all factors are reliable.
