Impact of digital health technologies adoption on healthcare workers' performance and workload: perspective with DOI and TOE models.
Article in BMC health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDigital health technologies (DHT) have become an integral component of modern healthcare systems, offering the potential to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes. Guided by the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, this study examines the impact of DHT adoption on healthcare workers' performance and workload in public and private hospitals in Mogadishu, Somalia.
methodA stratified random sampling approach was used to collect data from 286 healthcare workers in public and private hospitals. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test hypotheses and assess direct and mediating relationships among variables.
resultsThe analysis revealed that DHT significantly improves healthcare workers' performance and workload respectively (β = 0.452, C.R. = 10.150, p < 0.001) and (β = 0.594, C.R. = 9.972, p < 0.001), organizational and environmental factors are positively impacting on healthcare workers' performance (β = 0.327, C.R. = 8.709, p < 0.001) and (β = 0.102, C.R. = 2.872, p = 0.004). Healthcare workers' performance significantly reduces workload (β = 0.594, C.R. = 9.972, p < 0.001) and the mediating role of healthcare workers' performance between DHT and workload were also confirmed (β = 0.281, C.R. = 5.9787, p < 0.001).
conclusionThe findings underscore the critical role of DHT in enhancing healthcare workers' performance and reducing workload, with the TOE framework and performance acting as significant mediators. These results provide actionable insights for healthcare administrators and policymakers to optimize DHT implementation, support workforce efficiency, and address workload challenges through strategic organizational and environmental adaptations.
