Although quality information has been collected by governmental and private agencies for over three decades, public access to this information has typically been cumbersome. Recently, an initiative was launched in California in which hospitals can volunteer to provide a series of quality...

Electronic medical record systems (EMRs) could alleviate many problems confronting the health care industry. However, due to their inherent complexity and the difficulties in gaining commitment to their adoption by numerous stakeholders, adoption by hospitals has been slow. In this paper we use...

In this paper we combine three theories of attitude and behavior change in an attempt to inform the under-studied concept of sustained technology usage over time. We address two broad research questions (1) what specific processes act to drive behavior change? and (2) does the route of...

Electronic health records and health information technology are the focus of attention due, in part, to the President's Health Information Technology Plan, which calls for a 10-year adoption plan for electronic health records (EHR). We examine one component of HIT, the electronic personal health...
