Abstract
Electronic prescribing systems (e-prescribing) are designed to improve safety, quality and health efficiency. The use of electronic systems was originally intended to save paper (paperless), but on its development there are many benefits obtained from this system including reducing medication errors. The problems that was found during the used of the e-prescribing system become the basic for analyzing the used of the e-prescribing system in hospitals in Palembang city.The test is done by measuring the effect of the perceived easy of use and perceived usefulness variables on the intention of used variable.This study was conducted to test user acceptance of the e-prescribing system using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Factor influence testing was performed by using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The evaluation data were obtained from questionnaires distributed to users of the e-prescribing system. The results showed that seven out of ten indicators on the perceived easy of use variable were significant and all indicators on the perceived usefulness variable were significant. The bootstrap estimation results concluded that the variables perceived easy of use and perceived usefulness had an effect on intention of used (p = 0.000). It can be concluded that perceived easy of use and perceived usefulness in the e-prescribing system that has been used by several hospitals in Palembang city have an influence on the intention of use.
