In the present paper, a comprehensive review was performed on the application of technology acceptance models (TAM) in the healthcare sector. The important post-2019 published papers were searched and extracted by the Google Scholar search engine and important papers were taken into consideration for further analysis related to the use of recently utilized models on the final results of TAM based on different case studies. Although TAM has shown to have an outstanding role in predicting clinician acceptance and health information technology (IT) usage, there is still a need for improvement in cases of standardization, further relationship testing, better data reporting, and the exploration of new variables. In this regard, one can prioritize identifying clinicians' specific beliefs about health IT, enhancing the applicability of TAM in healthcare by evaluating contextual factors, barriers, facilitators, and social norms impacting IT adoption. In addition, based on the classification of recent studies into general variables and results, usefulness, ease of use, trust, and privacy concerns were determined as important factors in patients' acceptance of technology in healthcare services, and related recommendations were provided in this work. TAM-based models offer valuable insights into the adoption and acceptance of healthcare technologies and researchers and healthcare organizations should be mindful of their limitations and consider future research directions to enhance their applicability in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.
