“…Applications such as patient portal and physician portal increase visibility of health information, facilitates direct communication between patients and care teams, and boost patient safety. The research including [3], [29], [18] found that use of computerized applications like EMR and computerized practitioner order entry (CPOE) will have a significant effect on improving the quality of care, improving administrative efficiency, and reducing costs. The authors of [29] and [26] accessed the relationship between EMR technologies and 17 different quality measures.…”

“…Quality of care is a significant factor in the discussion on the impact of HIT, mainly because HIT has a capability to improve quality of patient care and also the outcomes [4,5,6]. In addition to the commonly used quality of care measures including "mortality" used in [1,3,4,5,13,14,18] and "readmission rates" used in [3,4,18], we consider a critical quality of care measure that has been largely ignored in existing research, patient satisfaction. According to the survey reported in [40], keeping up consistency in the service quality and improving patient satisfaction are real inspirations behind IT spending increases.…”

“…represents IT Budget for hospital i in year t. Consistent with existing research [4,13,14,18], we used hospital size and Case Mix Index (CMI) that represents the severity of patient disease case mix in a hospital as control variables that may influence the effect of IT investments on hospital performance.…”

With the enormous investments in Information Technology (IT), the question of payoffs from IT has become increasingly important. In this study, we investigate the impact of IT investments on hospital performance. We consider both financial outcomes such as return on investment and non-financial outcomes such as quality of care. We used longitudinal data that include the IT investments and hospital performance measures collected from over 500 hospitals and conduct a panel data analysis. The results of our study provide evidence for a significant positive relationship between IT investments and hospital performance measures.

This study examines the concept of unlearning, the process of disuse or replacement of an action, procedure or belief in favor of a new one, in the context of healthcare. Little is known about the true nature of unlearning and related learning change processes within the context of healthcare. The study of unlearning continues to be important not only due to the nature of the discipline itself, but physicians are required to support knowledge change for improved care quality. The study argues the introduction of new Health Information Technologies (HITs), such as EMRs, affect the unlearning process in physician providers. We address the following research question: "What are the characteristics of the unlearning process by physicians who are using EMRs?" using a qualitative case study methodology. Interviews, the primary data collection method and coding is mainly used for data analysis. Results show physician unlearning is characterized as either complete unlearning or incomplete unlearning.
