Abstract

BACKGROUND: Digital health technologies (DHT) have become an integral component of modern healthcare systems, offering the potential to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes. Guided by the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, this study examines the impact of DHT adoption on healthcare workers' performance and workload in public and private hospitals in Mogadishu, Somalia. METHOD: A stratified random sampling approach was used to collect data from 286 healthcare workers in public and private hospitals. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test hypotheses and assess direct and mediating relationships among variables. RESULTS: The analysis revealed that DHT significantly improves healthcare workers' performance and workload respectively (β = 0.452, C.R. = 10.150, p < 0.001) and (β = 0.594, C.R. = 9.972, p < 0.001), organizational and environmental factors are positively impacting on healthcare workers' performance (β = 0.327, C.R. = 8.709, p < 0.001) and (β = 0.102, C.R. = 2.872, p = 0.004). Healthcare workers' performance significantly reduces workload (β = 0.594, C.R. = 9.972, p < 0.001) and the mediating role of healthcare workers' performance between DHT and workload were also confirmed (β = 0.281, C.R. = 5.9787, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The findings underscore the critical role of DHT in enhancing healthcare workers' performance and reducing workload, with the TOE framework and performance acting as significant mediators. These results provide actionable insights for healthcare administrators and policymakers to optimize DHT implementation, support workforce efficiency, and address workload challenges through strategic organizational and environmental adaptations.

  • The TOE framework emphasizes identifying facilitators and barriers to the adoption of a specific technology rather than providing guidance on governing the broader range of technologies implemented within organizations.

    From Establishing organizational AI governance in healthcare: a case study in Canada (2025) · cites this paper as [25]

    The Introduction’s TOE framework section describes technological, organizational, and environmental factors that shape hospitals’ adoption of new technologies, supporting the claim that TOE identifies adoption facilitators and barriers. It does not say that TOE is limited to a specific technology or contrast it with guidance for governing an organization’s broader range of technologies. The indexed passages provide no page numbers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
