TELEMEDICINE USAGE IN FRANCE AND THE U.S: AN EXPLORATORY INVESTIGATION USING THE TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL
1. INTRODUCTION
Today, telemedicine has made many advances around the world. Different countries have continued steady approach to telemedicine like Canada, U.K., France, and USA. Key aspect of telemedicine is the use of electronic signals to transfer information from one site to another.
When medical care was limited to the radius in which the physician was available to deliver medical services, telephone became vehicle for healthcare service delivery. Radio also enabled during WW1, WW2, Korea & Vietnam.
Outline of the case study: a) Definitions. b) Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). c) Overview of the France healthcare system. d) The U.S. healthcare system. e) Trends and future. f) Conclusion and areas of further research. g) References.
2. BODY/ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION a) Definitions
The following are some of the key definitions and terms used in this article.
Tele-Health, Tele-Medicine, Teaching and Education, Tele-Medicine Information, Hospital Primary Care Networks, E-Readiness, Hard Technologies, Information Communication Technologies Infrastructure, Technology Adaptation, Technology Adoption, Transportation Modality. b) Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)
The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis, 1986, 1989) is an adaptation of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) (Fishbein and Ajzen, 1975; Ajzen and Fishbein, 1980). Initially Telemedicine, may be determined or measured by the End-Users ' willingness to embrace and utilize a new or adaptation of existing technologies for specific application to telemedicine, in preference to an old technology (Davis, 1989). And later on focusing on a number of inter- and extra-organizational variables,
