Abstract

This study investigates the antecedents of HIPI (Healthcare Information Protection Intention) of HIS (Healthcare Information Systems) users by introducing a model which incorporates constructs from GDT (General Deterrence Theory) and PMT (Protection Motivation Theory). The results show that (1) a clear awareness of the consequences of security threats increases HIS users’ understanding on the severity of healthcare information leakage, and thus may decreases abuse of HIS by users; (2) user satisfaction with the security system may make them have self-efficacy that they can handle the medical information leakage issue by themselves; and (3) although HIS users are realizing the consequences of healthcare information leakage, they think that they are unlikely to encounter such situations. The results imply that in order to increase HIPI of HIS users, ongoing security education is needed and motivating users to protect healthcare information through their satisfaction with the security system is important.
