As qualitative methods become increasingly popular in the research of information systems (IS), the analysis of resultant data becomes problematic. The primary aim of this paper is to contribute to the literature of qualitative research methodology in the area of information technology adoption. This study aims to outline a potentially powerful combination of grounded theory (GT) and case study research to produce relevant and rigorous theories that facilitate the understanding of emerging socio-technical IS phenomena. The study describes the compatibility of GT theoretical sampling and coding mechanisms as data analysis in conjunction with an interpretive case study strategy. A secondary objective of this study is to provide a real-life research project that shows the applicability of such a combination. The proposed methodology has been applied in the field of electronic health records (EHR) adoption. This study revealed that the application of the suggested methodology resulted in concepts and factors of EHR adoption that are not proposed by generalised theory.

Current government policy aims to deliver high quality healthcare by recording accurate data at the point of giving care, storing it efficiently and displaying it in a format, which is easily interpreted by healthcare professionals and patients. Few published reports describe the benefits of collecting and reporting such data from the point of view of the patient. We report the case of a 62-year-old lorry driver who used a web-based system to track patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) following an acute knee injury to full recovery over a 24-month period. The system reports clinical outcome scores in real-time to the patient and their medical team, clearly illustrating and enhancing recovery from injury. This case reveals how local software meets the needs of the individual patient linking and integrating such local systems must be the future focus of eHealth within the NHS to release the benefits presented by the information revolution.

While adoption rates for electronic health records (EHRs) have improved, the reasons for significant geographical differences in EHR adoption within the USA have remained unclear. To understand the reasons for these variations across states, we have compiled from secondary sources a profile of different states within the USA, based on macroeconomic and macro health-environment factors. Regression analyses were performed using these indicator factors on EHR adoption. The results showed that internet usage and literacy are significantly associated with certain measures of EHR adoption. Income level was not significantly associated with EHR adoption. Per capita patient days (a proxy for healthcare need intensity within a state) is negatively correlated with EHR adoption rate. Health insurance coverage is positively correlated with EHR adoption rate. Older physicians (>60 years) tend to adopt EHR systems less than their younger counterparts. These findings have policy implications on formulating regionally focused incentive programs.

With enhanced interoperability in healthcare environment the exchange of electronic health records (EHRs), both intra and inter organisations, has increased manifold. Sharing of the EHR creates room for illegal disclosures and confidentiality breaches. Interoperable healthcare is a complex system with many independent components. To design a secured framework for such a system, one need to understand the most important security attributes and predict various dependencies among them. The security attributes selected for statistical analysis are taken from the real-time study of patient-doctor relationship existing in any hospital or clinic. Hospitals with functional EHR-systems are the prerequisite of this study. The dependencies in the obtained data are generated through classification technique, chi-squared automatic interaction detection (CHAID). The decision tree obtained is analysed and verified using regression. The paper enabled the identification of the salient feature controlling which would maximally reduce security threats while sharing EHRs in interoperable healthcare environment.
