Factors affecting each individual health care worker's adoption and use of new information technology solutions (’Technology Acceptance Model’) (modified from Venkatesh and Bala15). All terms are explained with a pathologist's use of electronic synoptic reporting in mind (modified from Venkatesh and Bala and Davis19). Subjective Norm: A pathologist's perception of how most people who are important to her think she should or should not use electronic synoptic reporting. The norm can either be perceived as voluntary or compulsory. Perceived Image: The degree to which a pathologist believes that using electronic synoptic reporting would enhance her status in her job related social system. Perceived Job Relevance: The degree to which a pathologist believes that using electronic synoptic reporting would be relevant to her job tasks. Perceived Output Quality: The degree to which a pathologist believes that using electronic synoptic reporting would improve the overall quality of her pathology report. Result Demonstrability: How apparent the benefits of using electronic synoptic reporting are to the reporting pathologist. Perceived Ease of Use: The degree to which a pathologist believes that using electronic synoptic reporting would be free from effort. Perceived Usefulness: The degree to which a pathologist believes that using electronic synoptic reporting would enhance her job performance. Behavioural Intention: The degree to which a pathologist has formulated conscious plans to use (or not use) electronic synoptic reporting.
