Abstract
Despite the rapid growing of blockchain technology, the literature shows no evidence of its use in Arab countries' hospitals, particularly in Saudi Arabia. It is vital to understand the level of user acceptance of any new technology before implementing it. This study aims to identify the various predictors that influence the adoption of blockchain technology in public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The framework is based on the technological-organisational-environmental (TOE) framework and developed to investigate IT employees' points of view to find which predictor will affect blockchain adoption. Understanding these predictors in a better way may help in making sure that blockchain technology, which is still in its initial stages, is implemented in a way that is acceptable to healthcare organisations, so as to promote the meaningful use of the technology. It is expected that the implications of this study will be useful from both a theoretical and practical perspective.
