Although the electronic health record (EHR) is a promising innovation in the healthcare industry, the implementation of EHR has been relatively slow. A theoretical structure for the exploration and improvement of this usage of EHR is proposed. Incorporating the theoretical structure of TOE (technology-organization-environment), we apply the DEMATEL (decision-making trial and evaluation laborato...

Chou et al. (Applied Soft Computing 12 (2012) 64-71) used combination of fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and fuzzy DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) in human resource for science and technology (HRST). For applying the fuzzy DEMATEL method there is a need to find the multiplicative inverse of a fuzzy matrix. In this paper, it is pointed out that the method, used b...

The analytic network process (ANP) is a relatively new multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method which can be used to solve supplier selection problem. Because there are different degrees of influence among the criteria, using ANP average method (equal cluster-weighted) to obtain the weighted supermatrix may be inexact. This paper uses an effective solution based on a combined ANP and the de...

This paper provides a methodology of Supplier Quality Performance Assessment (SQPA) for the industrial computer industry that introduces modified Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) which uses the multiple regression analysis and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) techniques, and creates value for all members through optimizing order-winners and qualifiers to promote su...

The aim of study is to examine whether social influence affects medical professionals’ behavioral intention to use while introducing a new Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). The series of Technology Acceptance Models (TAMs) have been widely applied to examine new technology acceptance by scholars; nevertheless, these models omit system diversity and the user’s profession. On the other han...

Numerous companies are expecting their knowledge management (KM) to be performed effectively in order to leverage and transform the knowledge into competitive advantages. However, here raises a critical issue of how companies can better evaluate and select a favorable KM strategy prior to a successful KM implementation. The KM strategy selection is a kind of multiple criteria decision-making (M...

This paper offered a procedure for ranking the entrepreneurial and innovative indicators using Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), taking into account three individual,organizational and cultural dimensions simultaneously in decision making procedure. Henceforward, by using the Meta synthesis framework, the form of group classification of indicators from afinding’s combination was suggested ...

INTRODUCTION Nowadays, the web increasingly influences retail sales. An in-depth analysis of consumer decision-making in the context of e-business has become an important issue for internet vendors. However, factors affecting e-business are complicated and intertwined. CASE DESCRIPTION To stimulate online sales, understanding key influential factors and causal relationships among the factors ...

This paper aims to use a priority framework based on Decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) to help organizations build awareness of the critical influential factors affecting successful implementation of KM. To identify critical influential factors, the authors studied and reviewed relevant literature from numerous fields of study associated with the essential issues of ...

This study applies the Multiple Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) which based on decision theories to evaluate the tourism policy of Taiwan. The sets of tourism policy are a composite of various conditions, and must be considered within uncertain and dynamic environments which are difficult to measure. In order to strengthen the comprehensiveness and reasonableness of evaluating process, we used ...
