Abstract
This purpose of the study is to develop the usage intention model of Telecare systems. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model, the proposed framework is validated with 365 respondents from Nantou County located in Taiwan, which shows that both perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness are key factors affecting the intention to use telecare system. According to the statistical results, the proposed model fits very well for the samples. In other words, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness will affect simultaneously behavioral intention in telecare system. This study emphasizes that the managers of hospitals and designers of telecare system companies should pay more attention to understanding the perceptions of elderly (or patients) and improving the system and information quality of the system. Therefore, successful telecare systems not only provide robust system quality of information systems, but also delivery reliable information quality of health cares.
