- Description
- Existing Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) research have been focused on technological aspects. The adoption of CDSS remains poorly understood, due to the dependence of diverse CDSS technologies and their uses on decision-maker oriented factors. Understanding these user factors is of paramount interests for developing country contexts, such as Saudi Arabia, where cultural attitudes and norms can impact technology adoption. The study explores on perceptions of CDSS adoption in the healthcare sectors of Saudi Arabia. We conducted a qualitative study to reveal perceptions on CDSS use and adoption using semi-structured interview techniques to collect data from nine medical practitioners who are currently working in the Saudi healthcare sector. The findings are informed through the unified theory of adoption and use of technology (UTAUT) framework for their better meanings and representations. The findings suggested five determinants that affect the intention to use and actual use of CDSS: (1) performance expectancy; (2) effort expectancy; (3) facilitating conditions; (4) diagnostic accuracy; and (5) patient confidence. Patient confidence and diagnostic accuracy were two new determinants of CDSS acceptability not represented in previous models. These findings contribute to understanding CDSS adoption in the Saudi Arabian context.
