Understanding User Resistance To Information Technology: Toward A Comprehensive Model In Health Information Technology, Madison N. Ngafeeson

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

The successful implementation of health information systems is expected to increase legibility, reduce medical errors, boost the quality of healthcare and shrink costs.
