Abstract

Information Technology (IT) in the healthcare industry has improved healthcare efficiency and patient quality of care. This paper identifies two IT theories to explain IT adoption in healthcare: Diffusion of Innovations and Actor-Network theories. The focal technologies in discussion are electronic health records and computerized diagnosis. The research also identifies the impact of IT in healthcare in four dimensions: improved usability, accessibility, operational efficiency and stimulated economic development. It further illustrates the IT adoption and its impact with three case studies.
