“…These changes add more complexities to the adaptation of these types of systems into the mainstream. Previous studies also suggest that more investigation is needed to understand better the social structures in HIS adoption, more specifically a better understanding of the rules and division of labor of users or stakeholders groups such as the Acceptors and Providers who are the ultimate users of HIS (Sun and Qu 2014). Perhaps, IS developers need to use user-centered techniques that are more focused on the users (e.g.…”

Analysis of Barriers to the Deployment of Health Information Systems: a Stakeholder Perspective

This paper argues that the cross-analysis of barriers with stakeholders provides a richer picture than analyzing the barriers on their own, as most of the literature in this area does. To test this hypothesis, we used the data from 33 interviews across 19 different types of stakeholders that were involved in a telemedicine system for the Chronically-ill Patient. Our findings show encouraging results. For instance, it was found that the group of stakeholders who are directly related to the governance and policy-making identified most of the barriers. This finding may imply that this group is more aware of the challenges when implementing HIS, or it may suggest that this group poses more resistance due to the current economic and Organizational models in health care. It was also found that some barriers are cited by all stakeholders whereas others not, suggesting that some barriers may be more relevant than others.

“…Activity Theory has also been adopted to review research efforts in IS adoption within the healthcare domain (Sun & Qu, 2015). These authors selected 979 papers about HIS adoption published between 1990 and 2009 from online databases including Pubmed, Medline and Embase.…”

This paper reports on findings from an examination of a nursing information system through the lens of Activity Theory. The information system was designed to support real-time nursing documentation in acute care hospital contexts. The objective was to enable superior nursing care to ensue by providing nurses with the opportunity to document patient care data into a tablet computer located at the patient bedside. The system was evaluated in a not-for-profit acute care hospital's wards during its implementation. Nurses' interactions with the system and their perceptions were collected and analysed through the lens of Activity Theory. The analysis highlighted nurses' positive attitude towards the system and identified potential mediation capabilities as well as areas for improvements. Activity Theory was found to be useful to examine the positive and potentially problematic aspects of this new nursing information system.

“…Activity Theory Coleman & Coleman (2013) and Sun & Qu (2014) applied Activity Theory (Figure 3) to evaluate organisational readiness levels towards changes in IS implementation. Activity Theory views IS implementation from a wider perspective by involving other components, such as individuals, organisations, technology and implementation of change.…”

Although research in organisational readiness is growing, there are still gaps in the context of adopting pharmacy information systems. Evaluating factors that affect organisational readiness to adopt pharmacy information systems might help the health sector to be more successful and avoid negative impacts or losses due to its failure. This paper discussed a proposed model for organisational readiness to adopt pharmacy information systems and factors that affect organisational readiness. A qualitative case study was conducted using interviews, document analysis and observations. This study identified four main categories of factors that influence the organisational readiness to adopt information systems, such as (1) change valence that contributes towards improving the commitment to change, (2) organisational ability that contributes to change efficacy, (3) contextual factors and (4) implementation methods that affect both, commitment to change and efficacy. The study's findings supported and extended the theory of organisational readiness for change and expanded its use in the context of adopting pharmacy information systems. This study also provides the basis for evaluating organisational readiness on a wider domain such as adopting information systems.
