National Cultural Dimensions and Electronic Clinical Records Acceptance: an Exploratory Study

Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to describe the development of a measurement scale, to assess the impact of the national cultural factors on the electronic clinical records acceptance in the Ibn Sina Hospital Center(CHUIS)in Morocco. The methodology assumed is based on the Churchill paradigm (1979).Thus, our contribution focuses on the exploratory phase, where the items have been analysed using principal components analysis (PCA) and internal consistency with Cronbach’s Alpha (α). The results show a satisfactory factorial structure and excellent reliability of all the items.
