Abstract
Mobile work is emerging as an area of major importance in healthcare. However, past 代写留学生论文literature on this topic remains largely anecdotal, fragmented, and atheoretical. In this paper, we address this gap and adapt the DeLone and McLean model of IS success to the context of mobile work in healthcare, and articulate specific propositions. We then deductively evaluate each proposition based on studies reporting mobile device use in the healthcare context. Through this rigorous evaluation process, we are able to deliver a revised theoretical model that presents a consolidated view of the literature in the area of mobile work in healthcare.

Introduction
The rapid development of mobile information and communication technologies has led to significant innovations in the healthcare industry, which have potential to improve care for patients [78]. It has been argued that “mobile technology can provide a number of benefits to organizations, such as connectivity, flexibility, interactivity” [76, p. 273], capabilities which can be especially valuable to healthcare professionals. As noted by Ammenworth et al. [3], mobile work in healthcare can encompass different kinds of tasks: Routine use, such as the day to day activities for healthcare professionals (e.g. getting regular updates regarding patients). Mobile communication, such as the ability for a healthcare worker tube reached anytime and anywhere (e.g. a physician driving home can be reached on his/her PDA for consultation). Mobile information access, such as the possibility of healthcare workers to access patient Medical reports from their mobile devices. Mobile documentation, such as the possibility of avoiding “doubles documentation” and have all documents in one centralized place, which could be updated/accessed through the mobile devices. Thus, it is understandable that much research has been conducted in the health informatics arena to understand the impact of mobile technologies on providing effective and efficient healthcare services to patients, while reducing the costs of doing so [49, 82].Recent work on mobile technologies point to radically different possibilities of conducting work, enabled by technology mediated mobility or “nomad city” of individual agents [8, 50]. The inherently flexible nature of the healthcare workspace which, requires that healthcare workers be constantly on the move [34], makes the ability of individual agents to work anytime and anywhere especially relevant. Even though the notion of mobile work in healthcare has gained importance, the literature remains largely anecdotal, fragmented, and theoretical [20, 49]. A review of the literature reveals that mobile work in general, and mobile collaboration in particular, has been under-researched, especially in terms of developing a theoretical understanding [28,63,74], with a high proportion of studies in healthcare exploring context-specific or application-specific issues. In this paper, we take a first step toward addressing this abovementioned limitation in the literature. Specifically, we adapt a wellknownmodel of IS success (the “Debone and McLean model”) to the context of mobile work in healthcare, and articulate specific propositions that maybe discerned from the literature. We then deductively evaluate each proposition based on studies reporting on mobile device use experiences in the healthcare context.
