Abstract

Information Systems (IS) innovations in healthcare sector are seen as panacea to control burgeoning demand on healthcare resources and lack of streamlining in care delivery. One particular manifestations of such innovation is electronic records in its two forms: the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and the Electronic Health Records (EHR). However, deployment efforts concerning such innovations have encountered a rough terrain and have been slow. This paper investigates the issues that affect IS innovation deployment in the field of healthcare. This research adopted qualitative longitudinal case study methodology, which involved the deployment of electronic records in the US. Data was collected through online discussion threads; and was analysed thematically. This research indicates that there are nine attributes of IS innovation deployment in healthcare; and these are design, efficiency, optimality, legitimacy, acceptance, demand and efficacy, expertise, interaction, and trust.
