Examining the Technology Acceptance Model of the Computer Assistance Orthopedic surgery system

Abstract

The orthopedic surgery computer navigation system (Computer Assistance Orthopedic Navigation System, CAOS) is one of the latest applications in orthopedic surgery. In this study, based on the Technology Acceptance Model (Technology Acceptance Model, TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (Theory of Planned Behavior, TPB) of integration, we will study the impact of information technology outside health variables, in order to establish a research model and hypothesis. The study will be based on responses to questionnaires on the introduction of navigation systems in Taiwan medical centers and regional teaching hospitals. This study investigated if the empirical research model can identify the impact of orthopedic surgeons when they accept a computer navigation system orthopedic surgery (CAOS). Among the factors, we looked at cognitive usefulness (perceived usefulness), task (operation) complexity (task complexity), and social subjective cognition (subjective norm). According to an important factor, the performance level of IPA analysis, navigation systems, and a lack of flexibility in mode of operation is not easy to use. As a result, the navigation system provides insufficient instructions, and users are not satisfied with emphasis on present projects. Integration of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is important, although predictable orthopedic physician acceptance of a computer navigation system is subject to change and its dimensions and structure need to be study more. In order to further study issues affecting the future of bone surgeons, we will use the navigation system.
