TLDR
Only clinical HIT investments were found to have a statistically significant positive effect on operational performance, and differential performance effects for different clusters of HIT: administrative, clinical, and strategic.
Abstract
This article examines the relationship between the adoption of healthcare information technology (HIT) and a hospital's operational performance. Combining primary survey data from Florida hospitals and secondary data from two government agencies responsible for hospital certification and licensing, the authors find differential performance effects for different clusters of HIT: administrative, clinical, and strategic. Only clinical HIT investments were found to have a statistically significant positive effect on operational performance.

Predictive Analytics for Readmission of Patients with Congestive Heart Failure

TL;DR: A novel, predictive analytics model, termed as the beta geometric Erlang-2 BG/EG hurdle model, which predicts the propensity, frequency, and timing of readmissions of patients diagnosed with congestive heart failure CHF, and indicates that patient profiles derived from this model can serve as building blocks for a predictive analytics system to identify CHF patients with high readmission risk.

Do hospital physicians’ attitudes change during PACS implementation? A cross-sectional acceptance study

TL;DR: In this setting, the main motivation for physicians to start using PACS is effort expectancy, whereas performance expectancy only becomes important after the physicians started using PACC, and social influence was the only consistent predictor of PACS acceptance at all times.

A resource-based perspective on information technology capability and firm performance: an empirical investigation

TL;DR: The concept of IT as an organizational capability is developed and empirically examining the association between IT capability and firm performance indicates that firms with high IT capability tend to outperform a control sample of firms on a variety of profit and cost-based performance measures.
