Abstract EN
The Iraqi healthcare services are struggling to regain their lost momentum.
Many physicians and nurses left Iraq because of the current situation in the country.
Despite plans of calling back the skilled health workforce, they are still worried by the disadvantages of their return.
Hence, technology plays a central role in taking advantage of their profession through the use of telemedicine.
Studying the factors that affect the implementation of telemedicine is necessary.
Telemedicine covers network services, policy makers, and patient understanding.
A framework that includes the influencing factors in adopting telemedicine in Iraq was developed in this study.
A questionnaire was distributed among physicians in Baghdad Medical City to examine the hypothesis on each factor.
The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was utilized to verify the reliability of the questionnaire and Cronbach’s alpha test shows that the factors have values more than 0.7, which are standard.
