Description
The growing use of health information technology has also led to an increase in the adoption and use of electronic health information exchange (HIE). While large hospitals and healthcare systems have been at the forefront of implementing HIE, little is known about the state of adoption by small clinics, a large but little researched group. Using the institutional perspective we propose examination of the environmental coercive, normative, and mimetic pressures from government, patients, affiliates, peers, and IT vendors on small clinics to adopt HIE.
