Using Media Richness Theory (MRT) as the theoreticalframework, this study compared the effects ofusing electronic mail (e-mail) to voice mail (v-mail) over the Internet toprovide studentfeedback. MRTwouldpredict that v-matl would be perceived as higher than e-mail in media richness. Results indicate, however, that the two media were not significantly different in terms ofperceived media richnes...

The e-mail service is one of the most used network services: electronic mail messages can now easily be delivered in any place where a network connection exists. However, despite the current multi-media oriented spirit of the other popular services, most of the electronic mail traffic is still plain text. While the transport infrastructure is potentially in place, there is a strong need for coo...

The invention of electronic mail (e-mail) has made communication through the Internet easier than before. However, because fundamental functions are built on opensource technologies, it is critical to keep all transmitted e-mail secure and secret. Most current protocols only allow recipients check their after authenticated by server. Unfortunately, subsequent transmission from server recipient ...

OBJECTIVE A core feature of e-prescribing is the electronic exchange of prescription data between physician practices and pharmacies, which can potentially improve the efficiency of the prescribing process and reduce medication errors. Barriers to implementing this feature exist, but they are not well understood. This study's objectives were to explore recent physician practice and pharmacy exp...
