Abstract | The application of WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) technology in the healthcare industry has gained increasing attention in recent years. It provides effective and efficient sharing of health information among healthcare professionals in timely and effective treatment of patients (Collaborative Health Informatics Centre, 2000, Whetton, 2005a). However, there is still a concern among healthcare professionals whether health information is shared safely with WLAN technology. The primary aim of this study is to explore factors influencing healthcare professionals' adoption of WLAN security technology. This study was conducted in regional health settings in Queensland, Australia with a mixed research methodology. A focus group discussion and a questionnaire survey were used in the mixed research methodology. Four factors were extracted from the study. |
