SUMMARY:Innovation and Technology Adoption in Community Hospitals: A Human
  Factors Based Investigation
DESCRIPTION:Late Breaking Results\n\nSana Allana (University of Waterloo),
  Luiza Dos Santos (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), Ayesha Waseem (U
 niversity of Waterloo), Carla Girolametto (Grand River Hospital), and Cath
 erine Burns (University of Waterloo)\n\nHealth information technology has 
 been shown to positively impact patient outcomes, efficiency of care, and 
 reduce administrative errors (Alotaibi & Federico, 2017). However, Canada 
 continues to have low health technology adoption rates, with the highest l
 evels of technology adoption found in densely populated urban areas (Hamon
 i et al., 2021). Conversely, rural and community healthcare facilities fac
 e challenges due to insufficient resources and their remote locations (Kij
 sanayotin et al., 2009). We examined the perceptions, expectations, cultur
 al nuances, and barriers to technology adoption at a community hospital in
  Ontario. Clinical staff who worked with four innovative technologies were
  surveyed using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology sca
 le, followed by semi-structured interviews. Preliminary results indicate s
 everal drivers of technology acceptance and adoption: perceived value adde
 d to processes, potential for integration with existing technology, recogn
 ition of true needs by frontline staff, as well as a streamlined and perso
 nalized approach to change management. Additional analysis using the Funct
 ional Resonance Analysis Method and the Cognitive Work Analysis framework 
 will allow for further discussion of these drivers and the identification 
 of design requirements and recommendations for integrating these tools. Th
 ese findings will bridge the gap between the development of innovative hea
 lthcare technologies and their acceptance, implementation, and subsequent 
 adoption in lower resourced community health settings.\n\nSession Chairs:
