Abstract
The implementation of a Hospital-in-the-Home Unit (HHU) involves the application of technologies adapted to improve quality of care. The aim of this chapter is to develop a model based on the Technology Acceptance Model, which identifies key success factors for the acceptance of technology systems in HHUs. Qualitative research was carried out in the HHU of a Spanish hospital. Interviews were conducted with the HHU team, the hospital nurse manager, and the medical manager. An extended technology acceptance model is derived from the interviews. While organisational triggers such as accessibility, collaboration, confidentiality, training, and security are the main drivers for perceived usefulness and ease of use; individual processes such as unlearning and openness to address the needs of patients are the main enablers for the participation of practitioners. The results shed light on a possible way for healthcare managers to enhance their subordinates’ acceptance of technologies for HHUs.

Demystifying Unlearning and Innovation in Higher Education Institutions
This term is related to the conscious awareness to relinquish obsolete knowledge. Forgetting persuades individuals to question existing knowledge, recognized and established values before unlearning can occur. Forgetting and unlearning capitalize on and update knowledge. Unlearning fosters the possibility for new knowledge creation and absorption. Only individuals and not organizations can unlearn and forget. When individuals are aware that there is a new path to understand a situation then this facilitates unlearning. This understanding promotes the yearning for new ideas which urge individuals to have an open mind, to be generous and receptive to thinking and acting in groups and teams, with the disposition to take on risk and enliven mutual motivation.
