ABSTRACT
In recent years, mobile phone use in healthcare delivery has been the focus of healthcare
research. Of great interest to researchers is to study and understand the acceptance and use of
mobile payments in health delivery since mobile payments serves as a complementary service
to mobile health. Mobile payments provides a solution to the growing moral hazards and
security risks associated with cash payments in healthcare delivery and also lessens the
institutionalization of informal payments in health delivery.
A census was conducted on all health facilities within the Ayawaso municipality and the
results analyzed with the help of structural equation modelling (SEM) via the AMOS
software package in SPSS version 22. The constructs were tested and found to have high
validity. Fifty-three percent of providers were found to be currently accepting mobile
payments at their facilities.
The study concluded that performance expectancy and perceived cost are strongly associated
with the intention to use mobile payment systems and the actual use of mobile payment
systems and recommended that healthcare providers should analyze the task-technology fit of
payments and liaise with mobile money operators to shorten the series of steps needed
towards completion of mobile payments to save time for patients and providers.
