The Determinants of Cloud Computing Adoption in Healthcare

Abstract

Cloud computing is useful for the healthcare sector since it reduces complexity, enables efficient
administration, and facilitates collaboration between the systems in healthcare sectors. This research seeks
to examine the factors affecting the adoption of cloud computing in healthcare. It used three robust least
square estimation techniques such as S-estimation, M-estimation, and MM-estimation. The findings suggest
that the determinants of adoption of cloud computing are similar to other business institutions such as
compatibility, technological preparedness, complexity, security, competitive constraints, savings on costs,
assistance to senior management, vendor assistance.
