Adopting electronic medical records in primary care: Lessons learned from health information systems implementation experience in seven countries

The application of technology acceptance and diffusion of innovation models in healthcare informatics

“…This is supported within wider domains by arguments that greater use of qualitative research methods to understand the significance of people, organisational issues and context in technology acceptance is needed particularly in relation to the public sector (23). Following a literature review Yarborough and Smith found that studies confirmed the appropriateness of TAM amongst physicians but the "perceived ease of use" construct was not fully supported and suggested that in addition to time issues a collaborative organisational culture that emphasises teamwork is needed for successful implementation of IT based systems into physicians practices (28), (29).…”

“A European developed eHealth technology does not lead to a European implementation strategy towards (business) exploitation: a tale of two countries”

“…A one-size-fits-all implementation strategy (derived from a generic business model) for a Pan-European e-Health innovation, will most likely not succeed without either adapting the technology and services or differentiating the business models, according to differing health and social systems [4]. This is already indicated in similar studies with Electronic Health Record cases [5]. This case study examines a European, ICT-supported e-Health service in two different health and social systems and the subsequent implementation strategies.…”

Healthcare IT Value Hierarchy Framework for the Small Physician Practices Context

“…While there have been multiple studies on HIT in hospitals and large practices, there have been few studies that have directly examined HITs in Small Physician Practices (SPP) (Ludwick & Doucette, 2009). SPP are medical practices that consist of a staff of less than 10 physicians and have historically been the most common place for doctors to work (Decker, Jamoom, & Sisk, 2012).…”
