520			_aABSTRACT In both developed and developing nations, information and communication technology (ICT) has been acknowledged as a tool with the potential to increase the value of healthcare systems and the efficacy of health workers. Sadly, despite several attempts by the government and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the majority of programs either fail or are abandoned because of a lack of ICT-aware and professional people. This research looks into the possibility for health professionals in Northern Nigeria to use information and communication technology (ICT). At Specialist General Hospital Yola Adamawa State in Nigeria, a quantitative survey was conducted to gather information from carefully selected healthcare professionals. Clinical and non-clinical employees each got one of 150 on-paper surveys, of which 140 (93.3%) will be collected and evaluated using a modified technology acceptance model (TAM). There is a significant correlation between the knowledge (dependent variable) and independent variables (Perceive usefulness and perceive ease of use) both at a significant level of 0.05. This indicates that the presence of prior computer knowledge and exposure has a significant influence on health workers' perceptions (Perceive usefulness and perceive ease of use), overall attitude toward adoption, and eventually usage of information and communication technologies. Regression analysis revealed that despite the lower level of prior computer knowledge of younger participants they were more likely to score higher on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use whereas older health workers scored higher on knowledge and are more likely to score lower on perceived usefulness and perceive ease of use. The result also shows an increase in knowledge when compared with a study by Ameh et al., (2008). This indicates that the knowledge and attitude scores of health workers in this study reflect progress despite the lack of institutional training. Keywords: Information Communication Technology, Perceive Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Technology Acceptance
