“…Although the use of hit in Canada has increased over time, Canada still lags far behind other countries such as the United Kingdom and New Zealand in full adoption of electronic records 12,28,29 . Significant barriers and gaps continue to challenge successful implementation on a large scale [30][31][32][33][34] .…”

“…According to literature review there are different application areas of IT including hospital management (Ferrara, 1996) (for example, in order to collecting, processing, and analyzing of information to make right decision, Budgeting, and planning (Baghbaniyan & Ghanehpour, 2000;Trimm, 1990), patient registration, and digital imaging (Rozenblum et al, 2011).…”

Objective: This study investigated the perspective of clinicians about the effect of information technology (IT) on healthcare improvement. Methods:This cross-sectional study conducted in 2014-15, developed a questionnaire to evaluate of the perspective of 281 employees at two general hospitals affiliated with Zahedan University of Medical Sciences to measure the effect of IT on improving the healthcare system. The data was analyzed using the descriptive Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Kruskal-Wallis tests. One-way ANOVA was used to compare groups. Results:The overall attitude of the research population about the effect of IT on healthcare was positive, with an average score of 3.29 ± 0.90. The most influential effects of IT on the healthcare were accelerated diagnosis and treatment. The use of standardized messaging was the most effective approach for improving the healthcare system. Developing a standard mechanism for protection of data and establishing clear rules for acceptance of computer documentation by the judicial authorities were the most influential cases to increase IT effects in the healthcare system. Conclusion:Physicians play important roles in the successful implementation of IT because they are directly involved in the treatment of patients. Their opinions should be considered when providing or creating any type of system. The importance of budgeting for IT should be considered, because applying these systems can be capital intensive. Because application of such systems requires acceptance by legal circles of the information obtained, it is necessary for preparations to be made.

“…A seamless health data sharing between clinical professionals and health services appears to be critical for many areas in healthcare where complex and high-risk decisions must be made based of available information. The MyHealth Record will only succeed if government properly support its reform agenda, and directly involve key stakeholders identified in this study as it is evident that the numerous planned e-health solutions ether fails to deliver their promises [56] or end up shutting their operations due to the failure of realisation of healthcare information system implementation complexities. …”

Globally, healthcare reforms are being initiated to address the tremendous challenges facing healthcare systems. Without exception, these reforms include the implementation of a variety of e-health solutions. Such e-health solutions are complex and have far reaching implications. We argue that while these implementations and adoptions of e-health solutions are necessary, it is essential that an appropriate lens of analysis should be used to maximise and sustain the benefits of IS/IT (information systems/information technology) in healthcare delivery. Hence, in this paper, we proffer Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as an appropriate lens to evaluate these various e-health solutions and illustrate in the context of MyHealth Record, the chosen e-health solution for Australia. The results of this study reveal that the implementation of eHealth is a complex process and approaching it nationally, serves to make it significantly more challenging with enormous barriers.
