“…The emergence of studies on the adoption of healthcare information systems (HIS), electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic health record (EHR) has increased tremendously throughout the last decade [Ford, Menachemi, Huerta and Yu, 2010;Heathfield, Pitty and Hanka, 1998;Ludwick and Doucette, 2009;Venkatraman, Bala, Venkatesh and Bates 2008]. Nevertheless, a study specifically focusing on the assimilation of IS/IT in healthcare contexts, specifically the assimilation of healthcare information systems (HIS) throughout an entire hospital, has to date been quite limited.…”

The importance of information systems/information technology (IS/IT) to healthcare organisations is being recognised today as paramount and critical in order to realise superior healthcare delivery. Successful assimilation of IS/IT, which is the central focus of this study, then becomes a key consideration in ensuring that IS/IT is appropriately and systematically deployed into a healthcare organisation. The key findings from this research indicate that there are people, process, technology and environment elements that should be considered as facilitators to the healthcare information systems (HIS) assimilation process, as well as barriers that the healthcare organisation should overcome throughout the entire assimilation process or at specific stages. This research, therefore, is not only topical but especially beneficial to management and administrators in the web of healthcare players as they grapple with trying to successfully assimilate HIS into their respective organisations.

“…Due to privacy, reliability, or security concerns, and control issues, hospitals may prefer their in-house systems to manage their EMR rather than the use of a third-party provider. Perhaps once EMRs are supported by integrated IT architecture and Health Information Exchanges, they will be interoperable and may be outsourced by hospitals [Blechman, Raich, Raghupathi, and Blass, 2012;Venkatraman, Bala, Venkatesh, and Bates, 2008].…”

Although the Internet is in its second decade of widespread adoption, many patient-centered health websites are still in a phase of early adoption, scrambling to define and defend market segments in a shifting healthcare information landscape. Consequently, healthcare and health information providers are jockeying for position in a dynamic industry trying to serve different patients' needs. To understand the situation, this article takes the approach of Patient-centered e-Health (PCEH) and makes three contributions. One, we empirically test the PCEH framework on patient-focused websites. Two, given the PCEH framework, we identify five categories of websites that serve different segments of the patient-centered health information market. Three, we analyze the five categories in terms of different features and derive a classification model. This article helps us better understand PCEH websites and guide the future development of online healthcare and health information services.

“…In the end, high quality semantic standards involve network externalities, avoid lock-ins, increase variety of systems products, trade facilitation and reduce transaction costs (Blind 2004). More importantly, they solve or lower economic and social problems, such as the $1 billion imperfect interoperability costs of US automotive industry (Brunnermeier and Martin 2002) or the calculated 98,000 losses of life caused by lack of interoperability in care IT systems (Venkatraman et al 2008). …”

Do semantic standards lack quality? A survey among 34 semantic standards

The adoption of standards to improve interoperability in the automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding and other sectors could save billions. While interoperability standards have been created for a number of industries, problems persist, suggesting a lack of quality of the standards themselves. The issue of semantic standard quality is not often addressed. In this research we take a closer look at the quality of semantics standards, development processes, and survey the current state of the quality of semantic standards by means of a questionnaire that was sent to standards developers. This survey looked at 34 semantic standards, and it shows that the quality of semantic standards for inter-organizational interoperability can be improved. Improved standards may advance interoperability in networked business. Improvement of semantic standards requires transparency of their quality. Although many semantic standard development organisations already have quality assurance in place, this research shows that they could benefit from a quality measuring instrument.
