Abstract

To investigate motivating factors influencing patients' use of health information technology (HIT), we conducted a survey based on the Health Information Technology Acceptance Model (HITAM) in a primary care clinic. By enhancing patients' positive attitude, creating useful, reliable HIT for patients' self-efficacy, we suggest developing strategies for improved patient engagement.
