ABSTRACT
Advances in technology are changing the way healthcare professionals communicate with peers and with patients. Although healthcare professionals are increasingly utilizing mobile health technologies to successfully support their practices, healthcare organizations are slow to embrace and support the use of mobile technologies in the provision of health services. This paper uses a case study to highlight how the adoption and use of mobile technologies in clinical practice is impacted when there is a paucity of clear polices to provide direction. The localized approach is limited in its generalizability but is useful to provide a deeper understanding of the roles organizational discourse and politics have in technology acceptance. By reframing the circumstances present in the case study and analyzing the underlying issues of power and discourse, the goal is to better understand barriers to HIT approval and diffusion within a health system.
INTRODUCTION
Technology is changing the way healthcare professionals communicate with other healthcare practitioners and with their patients. Increasingly, healthcare professionals are using mobile health technologies to effectively and efficiently support their health practices. Health information technology (HIT) is broadly defined as the exchange of health information in an electronic environment. A review
of articles published from 2000 to the present, from health, technology, and social science databases (CINAHAL, Google Scholar, ProQuest and PubMed/Medline) support widespread adoption of HIT to improve the health of individuals and the performance of healthcare providers . However, regardless of supportive research findings and the ubiquity of mobile devices, healthcare organizations have been slow to adopt and endorse HITs . Though many studies have examined acceptance of HIT in organizations, there is little attention focused on the influence of power and communication and the role these factors play in worker response to technological interventions in practice settings. This paper looks at the political, policy, and communication challenges faced when accepting and adopting mobile technologies in a clinical health setting.
