Challenges of Integrating New Technologies for Orthopedic Doctors to Face up to Difficulties during the Pandemic Era

Abstract

In the field of orthopedics, competitive progress is growing faster because new technologies used to facilitate the work of physicians are continuously developing. Based on the issues generated in the pandemic era in this field, a research study was developed to identify the intention of orthopedic doctors to integrate new medical technologies. The survey was based on a questionnaire that was used for data collection. The quantitative study registered a sample of 145 orthopedic doctors. The data analysis was performed based on the IBM SPSS program. A multiple linear regression model was applied, which analyzed how the independent variables can influence the dependent variables. After analyzing the data, it was observed that the intention of orthopedic doctors to use new medical technologies is influenced by the advantages and disadvantages perceived by them, the perceived risks, the quality of the medical technologies, the experience of physicians in their use, and their receptivity to other digital tools. The obtained results are highly important both for hospital managers and authorities, illustrating the main factors that influence doctors to use emergent technologies in their clinical work.
