Abstract

Much attention has been paid recently to the need for information systems research in healthcare. Premiere IS journals have called for research addressing the interoperability, implementation, adoption, diffusion and clinical data standards needs of our ailing US health care system. Because of the IS community has much to offer the unique healthcare environment, collaborative research is a necessity; however the dynamic and often times guarded nature of health care organizations make conducting theoretical and applied research a complicated and slow-going process; yet always rewarding. The Purpose of this research report is threefold: (1) to provide an overview of current and ongoing information systems research in health care; (2) to present case examples from a variety of health care and IS research that demonstrate diverse methods, approaches and objectives for conducting IS research in the health care environment; and (3) to present challenges and lessons learned from these four care research cases.
