Summary
"This monograph estimates the current level and pattern of HIT adoption in the different types of healthcare organizations, and evaluates factors that affect this diffusion process. By comparing adoption rates across different types of healthcare providers and geographical areas, the authors help focus the policy agenda by identifying which healthcare providers lag behind and may need the most incentives to adopt HIT. They employ regression analysis to separate the effects of the providers' characteristics and factors on adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), and Picture Archiving Communications Systems (PACS), and compare the effects to findings in the literature."--BOOK JACKET.
