The purpose of this study is to identify barriers to the adoption of new technology in rural settings. Specifically, this paper focuses on identifying and overcoming barriers to the adoption of a medication error reporting system in eight rural hospitals. Prior research has generally focused on barriers to the adoption of new technology in urban areas, medical centers, or large hospitals. The literature has identified six primary barriers to the adoption of new technology: cost, legality, time, fear, usefulness, and complexity. Although our research recognizes these same barriers, the means through which these barriers may be mitigated are different in rural settings. Our research identified three additional barriers to the adoption of new technology that may be specific to rural areas: personnel, physical space, and Internet access. Our outcome variable, in order to demonstrate our success, is the number of reported medication errors.
本研究的目的是确定农村地区采用新技术的障碍。具体而言，本文着重于识别并克服八家农村医院采用药物错误报告系统的障碍。先前的研究通常聚焦于城市地区、医疗中心或大型医院采用新技术的障碍。文献中已确定采用新技术的六个主要障碍：成本、合法性、时间、恐惧、实用性和复杂性。尽管我们的研究认识到这些相同的障碍，但在农村地区减轻这些障碍的方式有所不同。我们的研究确定了采用新技术可能特定于农村地区的另外三个障碍：人员、物理空间和互联网接入。为了证明我们的成功，我们的结果变量是报告的药物错误数量。
