Performance Influencing Factors (PIFs)

Performance Influencing Factors, or PIFs, are factors that combine with basic human error tendencies to create error-likely situations. In general terms PIFs can be described as those factors which determine the likelihood of error or effective human performance. It should be noted that PIFs are not automatically associated with human error. PIFs such as quality of procedures, level of time str...

Decision Support Systems: Impact on Company Performance

This study investigates a number of variables related to decision support systems (DSS): use of systems, contribution of systems, and user satisfaction.

Factors influencing decision support system acceptance

While clinical DSS have many proven benefits, their uptake by GPs (general practitioners) is limited. The purpose of this research was to develop and explore a UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) based model of how and why GPs accept DSS. Insight into the reasons why GPs do not use clinical DSS combined with knowledge of why GPs use DSS will allow the development of strat...
