Abstract
Introduction: In recent years, one of the key innovations in the field of health and treatment has been the use of health information technology, resulting in cost savings, easy access, efficiency, and ultimately improved patient treatment results. One of these technologies, whose use has received attention in the field of health and treatment, is telemedicine technology.
Methods: In this research, after the qualitative analysis of experts' opinions and previous research, the classification of factors was conducted based on the PESTEL technique, and applying the DANP method, the intensity and direction of the influence of the challenges and drivers of the diffusion of this technology were determined and the criteria were prioritized. Afterwards, the conceptual model of technology acceptance was created. In order to evaluate the proposed conceptual model and whether to prove or reject the proposed hypotheses, information was collected through a questionnaire and having analyzed the results, the final conceptual model was presented.
Results: The results of this research show that the challenges affecting the diffusion of telemedicine in Iran are the lack of training, loss of (raising) people’s awareness about telemedicine and negligence of the health system to this technology. Factors such as reducing human errors, increasing patients' knowledge about their diseases, promoting self-care, eliminating geographical distance, and increasing access to specialized services are the drivers that can have a positive impact on the diffusion of telemedicine in Iran.
Conclusion: In order to expand the use of telemedicine technology and benefit from its advantages in the therapeutic/medicinal system of the country, it is essential to pay serious attention to the issue of culture (raising awareness) and appropriate policy making of the health system. Providing quality medical services through this treatment method and presenting the results will have a significant impact on the acceptance of this technology in our country.

Abstract
Introduction: Electronic human resources management can be implemented in the organization with different intentions and goals. In other words, cost reduction, optimal use of human resources, and high ability to change and innovate can be examples of electronic human resource management goals. The current research was carried out with the aim of developing electronic human resource management scenarios in Iran's health insurance organization.
Methods: In terms of orientation, the current research is applied, which falls under the category of exploratory research, and its methodology is mixed. The statistical population includes academic experts and managers of health insurance organizations in Tehran province, 30 of them were selected as sample members using the purposeful sampling method and based on the principle of theoretical adequacy. In the qualitative part, research indicators were obtained through literature review and interviews with experts. In the quantitative part, a questionnaire was used in order to prioritize the indicators, and the consensus index, importance and dispersion of the coefficient of changes were used to compile the scenarios.
Results: The findings of this research are presented in two parts, qualitative and quantitative. The first part includes the identification of the key components of electronic human resources management, and 15 components are determined in this section, respectively, human resource architecture with an importance index (100) and consensus index (0.66) and structure and process modification with an importance index (95). and the consensus index (0.43) were identified as the two main components and the basis of electronic human resource management scenarios in Iran's health insurance organization. Also, the second part of the results shows that 1) Tsunami of change (indicating the possibility of modifying the structure and process and architecture of human resources), 2) Cloud without rain (refers to a situation where the organizational structure is efficient but human resources are ineffective), 3) Silent volcano It indicates a situation where the structure and resources of the organization are inefficient) and 4) the land in danger of drought (refers to a situation in which the structure of the organization is inefficient but the human resources of the organization are efficient), the scenarios of electronic human resource management in health insurance
Conclusion: The results showed that human resource architecture and structure and process modification are the most important drivers of electronic human resource management and the basis of electronic human resource management scenarios in Iran's health insurance organization. One of the most important solutions that can be used to improve and apply human resources architecture is job analysis and matching. Also, if necessary, the organizational structure should be modified to apply the necessary improvements in processes and decisions.
