The impact of digital culture on the use of medical information technology applications A survey of technical opinions from doctors in the city of Mosul

Abstract

The research aims to examine the impact of digital culture on medical information technology applications to enhance healthcare and provide better services for institutional growth and success. The study tested hypotheses to address the research problem and objectives, using statistical analysis via SPSS V.21 and AMOS V24. Results indicated a significant positive impact of digital culture dimensions (cognitive, skill, social, decision-making) on medical IT applications (electronic medical records, Internet of Things, radiology and ultrasound devices). The research, conducted on a sample of 320 doctors in Mosul's healthcare institutions, used questionnaires for data collection. A hypothetical model tested the relationship between research variables to answer study questions and meet objectives. Key findings highlight the importance of diagnosing problems in healthcare institutions, particularly hospitals, to drive performance improvements, assume responsibilities, and encourage innovations.
