Data was analyzed using SPSS.toidentified to giveadmittance to healthcare services especially those in remote areas to reduce time required to access medical centers and associated costs.

Results: PE{B = 0.30 &T = 5.81}, EE{B = 0.18 &T = 3.91}, SI{B = 0.207&T = 3.96}, FC{B = 0.21 &T = 4.83}, privacy P {B = 0.150 &T = 3.08}, and information exchange IE{B = 0.110 &T = 2.52}have a grave effect to consumer's behaviorpurpose. But cloud based health awareness CBHA {? = 0.10& t = 1.50} identified as numerically insignificant. Based on the results policy makers need to consider the findings to ensure there is proper integration failure it will result to challenges created.
