Abstract

While mobile Health (mHealth) holds much potential, the infusion of mHealth is still in its infancy and has yet to achieve sufficient attention in the Information Systems field. As a result, the objective of this paper is to identify the (a) determinants for successful infusion of mHealth by healthcare practitioners and (b) benefits healthcare practitioners perceive from infusing mHealth. A sequential mixed methods approach (case study and survey) is employed to achieve this objective. The study contributes to IS theory and practice by: (1) developing a model with six determinants (Availability, Self-Efficacy, Time-Criticality, Habit, Technology Trust, and Task Behaviour) and three individual performance-related benefits associated with mHealth infusion (Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Learning), (2) exploring undocumented determinants and relationships, (3) identifying conditions that both healthcare practitioners and organisations can employ to assist with mHealth infusion and (4) informing healthcare organisations and vendors as to the performance of mHealth in post-adoptive scenarios.
