Abstract :
This paper discusses the acceptance and use of
Health Information Systems in the context of South
African Health Practitioners. The paper argues that
ideally, Health Practitioners who adopt HIS are poised to
significantly improve their operations and services, and
thereby offering patient satisfaction and adequately
cover operational costs. Despite the continued investment
in information system, there is still limited research and
knowledge into what influences or affect the use of the
system by health practitioners. The paper addresses the
inadequacy of literature in addressing the use of health
information system by health practitioners, especially in
the context of South Africa. To this point this study
sought to explore and explain what affects the use of HIS
by individuals.
