The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology by extending the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989) in order to contribute the acceptance of Hospital Management Systems in hospitals. The study also aims to extend the TAM by adding external variables. Thereby the relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and external TAM factors and how these relationships will affect the behavioral intention to use the technology will be determined. In this study quantitative research methods are used. Quantitative research comprises from a questionnaire which is tested in Turkish government hospitals by hospital personnel, physicians, nurses, technicians and administrative personnel. After collection of data from quantitative research the analysis of the data was conducted. The findings of the analysis gave the significant relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, behavioral intention and external variables. In conclusion this study points out the effects and the compatibility of the critical factors of TAM on the user acceptance of Hospital Management Systems in Turkish hospitals.

A comparison of subspace based face recognition methods
Gönder, Özkan; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
Different approaches to the face recognition are studied in this thesis. These approaches are PCA (Eigenface), Kernel Eigenface and Fisher LDA. Principal component analysis extracts the most important information contained in the face to construct a computational model that best describes the face. In Eigenface approach, variation between the face images are described by using a set of characteristic face images in order to find out the eigenvectors (Eigenfaces) of the covariance matrix of the distribution,...
Intelligent healthcare monitoring system based on semantically enriched clinical guidelines
Laleci, Gökçe Banu; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2008)
Clinical guidelines are developed to assist healthcare practitioners to make decisions on a patient's medical problems and as such they communicate with external applications to retrieve patient data, to initiate medical actions through clinical workflows and to transmit information to alert/reminder systems. The interoperability problems in the healthcare IT domain for interacting with heterogeneous clinical workflow systems and Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) Systems prevent wider deployment of clinica...
An automated quality measurement approach for business process models
Gürbüz, Özge; Demirörs, Onur; Güceğlioğlu, A. Selçuk; Department of Information Systems (2011)
Business process modeling has become a common need for organizations. Therefore process quality is also having an important role for the organizations. The most of the quality studies are based on cost and time which can be analyzed during or after the execution of the business processes. There are also quality measures which help analyzing measures before the execution of the business processes. This type of measures can give early feedback about the processes. There are three frameworks defined in the lit...
A Static analysis approach for service oriented software engineering (SOSE) designs
Çermikli, Can; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, a static analysis approach is introduced in order to develop correct business processes according to the Web Service Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) specification. The modeling of the business processes are conducted with Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) which is a popular orchestrator of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) based system through the description of workflow. This approach is also integrated to the Service Oriented Software Engineering (SOSE) design tec...
An agent-based alert distribution system for intelligent healthcare monitoring
Akçay, Buğrahan; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2006)
With the high-level developments in the information technologies, there is a big movement in the e-health area both to give better healthcare services and to reduce cost. Monitoring the patients from their home location is one of the important branches of e-health with the aging societies. In this work, an agentbased alert system is introduced which analyzes the alert message requests and sends the alert messages within the appropriate structure and communication channel to the related healthcare user. A gu...
