Abstract
This research explores the role that Information System (IS) infrastructure and organizational context play on the implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHR) Systems. A number of indicators can be used as a proxy for IS infrastructure such as: Information System (IS) Department Budget allocation, percentage of full time IS staff and the number of technical trainings provided by the IS department to the clinical staff. Data was obtained from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) database, a non-for profit organization that evaluates the use of information technology in the health care industry. This paper reports on the development of a model describing the relationship between factors of IS infrastructure, organizational context and implementation of EHR systems. A regression equation was formulated to evaluate the predictive ability of the variables. The results of this regression analysis were used to explain the relationship between the factors related to the investment in IS infrastructure and implementation of EHR systems.
