A new model for investigating the effective factors in the development of modern clinical and health services in the time of COVID-19

ABSTRACT

Excessive information exposure and misleading information in controlling COVID-19 disease have affected the dimensions of people's lives and caused mental health problems. Healthcare effectiveness is a critical subject worldwide. Thus, engaging resources in the progress and use of e-health technologies are very crucial, especially in the COVID-19 era. Due to the sensitivity of this issue and the world health organization's attention to developing new clinical and health services in the pandemic, this article introduces and presents a new model. This new model investigates the factors influencing the development of modern clinical and health services during the pandemic era. Also, this research presents a new model to investigate the technological, management, environmental, social, and cultural factors and perceived usefulness and ease of use influencing the development of modern clinical and health services throughout COVID-19. The questionnaire survey technique is utilized for gathering data. The authors contacted about 300 potential respondents. To statistically analyze the questionnaires, Smart-PLS 3.2 software is used. The outcomes illustrate a great strength of the suggested model. The results demonstrate that technological, management, social, cultural, and environmental factors positively affect perceived usefulness and ease of use. They also show that perceived usefulness and ease of use are significant factors in developing modern clinical and health services.
