Health Economics, 2007
AbstractThis paper empirically examines the diffusion of hospital information systems (ISs), specifically, pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology systems.

Information capacity and innovation adoption

International Journal of Industrial Organization, 1988
Researchers of innovation adoption and diffusion often have tested the hypothesis that firms with greater capacities to gather and evaluate information should adopt sooner. However, the data generally do not support this hypothesis. A theoretical model of innovation adoption under uncertainty is developed to show that greater information capacity ...

Inter-organizational information systems adoption – a configuration analysis approach

European Journal of Information Systems, 2011
In this article we propose a new complementary approach to investigate Inter-Organizational Information Systems (IOIS) adoption called configuration analysis. We motivate the need for a new approach by the common observation that the structure and the strategy of an IOIS are interdependent and that the IOIS adoptions consequently cluster orderly.

Shortcomings and Challenges of Information System Adoption

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2011
The number of institutions implementing AIMS is increasing. Shortcomings in the design and implementation of EMRs have been associated with unanticipated consequences, including changes in workflow. These have often resulted from the carryover of paper-based documentation practices into an electronic environment.
