Factors influencing the Supply Chain Management in e-Health using UTAUT model

Abstract

<abstract> <p>Logistics in the healthcare industry involves coordinating the distribution of medical supplies and equipment across various departments and organizations. Supply Chain Management can help healthcare facilities identify weaknesses and devise strategies to address them. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), the study investigates the motivations behind the individuals’ desire to use Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in healthcare. In order to better understand the factors that influence the use of IoT for e-HMS, a survey was administered to 210 healthcare IoT users. The study focuses on the potential medicinal applications of IoT technologies and incorporates the concepts of performance expectations, healthcare hazard, and trust (PHT) and perceived enabling circumstances (PFC) to complement past findings in the field. Overall, the study appears to be focused on contributing to the existing knowledge about the factors that influence the adoption of IoT technologies in healthcare, and it emphasizes the importance of considering theoretical constructs such as PHT and PFC in this context. The findings of the study can be used by IoT creators, medical experts, and vendors to optimize e-HMS and provide insight into the potential and limitations of UTAUT simulation to improve the logistic of Supply Chain Management in healthcare 4.0. The results have been analyzed by applying machine learning classifiers and have been visualized using different metrics.</p> </abstract>
