  • Abstract
    This paper investigates the adoption of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems by US health providers with multiple theoretical perspectives. In particular, it argues that the fit between EHR systems and clinical activities interacts with social contagion from peer healthcare providers, which influences the valence to EHR systems of focal provider, and organizational valence finally impacts the adoption intention of focal provider. The data analysis on the surveys on practitioners supported the research model.
