- ItemA knowledge management model for pediatric health care practice: A paper presented at theScience, Computing, Telecomminucations(PACT): Pan African Conference Arusha on 14-18 July 2014(IEEE, 2014) Mutuwa, P.L.; Maiga, GilbertPediatric care practitioners are faced with increasing amounts of knowledge that is not matched by an equivalent ability to manage and apply it for improved healthcare. This is largely attributed to the lack of tools, systems and models that aide in Knowledge Management. The study aimed to describing a model that focuses on integrating the Knowledge Management processes that contribute to improved Pediatric care delivery in the context of Uganda. A field study was conducted to gather requirements for the model. The data collected was analyzed and the results used to extend existing Knowledge Management models in order to describe a suitable model for pediatrics Knowledge Management. The study identified technology, People, Storage and pediatrics knowledge integration as important requirements for successful implementation of Knowledge Management in pediatrics healthcare practice. An evaluation of the proposed model was done and the results indicated its suitability for Knowledge Management in pediatric practice.
- ItemPredicting adoption of Health technology in resource constrained environments: a coference preceedings on 7-9 May 2014 at Le Meridien Ile Maurice 1ST Conference(IEEE, 2014) Maiga, Gilbert; Namagembe, F.Health technology is an important form of Information Technology enabled delivery for health care. However, its adoption and use by healthcare providers faces challenges that include the lack of understanding of what motivates user acceptance and adoption of its applications. In this study, the Unified theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology is used to model the prediction and explain user acceptance of m - health tools in resource constrained en vironments. The model was validated using a descriptive field study The results confirm that performance expectancy, effort expectancy and disturbance concerns as presented in the unified theory for the acceptance and use of technology are important consid erations for healthcare professionals to adopt m - health tools in Uganda. The results also help to validate the Unified theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology as an underlying predictive model for - health technology adoption in similar environments.
