The result indicated that Output quality, Subjective norm and provider`s attitude had a direct effect on perceived ease of use. And perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use had a significant effect on behavioral intention. But perceived ease of use had a significant effect on perceived usefulness. The proposed model provides a means to understand which factors determine behavioral intention of healthcare providers to use U-Healthcare and how this may affect future use.
