Abstract

This article examines how two features of technology adoption affect hospital performance. The current study contributes to our understanding of the IT-performance link in a hospital setting by exploring the effects of healthcare information technology (HIT) diversity and the pace of HIT diversity change in a hospital over time on hospital performance. Employing a panel data set of U.S. hospitals from 2008 to 2013, the research finds that HIT diversity is positively associated with hospital performance, while velocity is negatively associated with it.

Healthcare Information Technology and Hospital Performance: Diversity and Velocity

This article examines how two features of technology adoption affect hospital performance. The current study contributes to our understanding of the IT-performance link in a hospital setting by exploring the effects of healthcare information technology (HIT) diversity and the pace of HIT diversity change in a hospital over time on hospital performance. Employing a panel data set of U.S. hospitals from 2008 to 2013, the research finds that HIT diversity is positively associated with hospital performance, while velocity is negatively associated with it.
