Abstract

Based on technology acceptance model, perceived risk, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, subjective norm and behavioral attitude are extracted as important factors affecting residents to sign the family physician. The close relationship between the factors is studied by constructing structural equation model (SEM). And the empirical test of fitted SEM shows that all the above factors have impact on residents' signing of family physicians directly or indirectly and the subjective norm plays the most important role in signing family physicians. In response to the above influencing factors of signing family doctor the related government department can take relevant measure to implement family doctor services efficiently.
