Assessment E-Health Readiness For Rural South African Areas
Abstract
E-health is increasingly being used to address the long-standing gap of inequality in the provision of health care in many countries especially to bridge the divide between the urban rich and the rural poor. However, to increase the chances of e-health success, it is paramount to assess its readiness among the health institutions that are intending to implement it. The major objective of this paper therefore was to investigate the determinants of e-health readiness. Based on the literature, this study used five constructs of core, engagement, structural, societal and acceptance and use readiness to formulate a framework for e-health readiness assessment. A close-ended questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants of the rural area of Moses Kotane Municipality of South Africa. Principal component analysis was used to analyze the identified attributes and rank them in the order of their importance. Results showed that the need change readiness attribute contributes high for e-health readiness. The developed framework is expected to practically contribute to the health institution’s preparedness as it will be used as a cornerstone during the implementation of e-health.
