چکیده

We explore heterogeneity in the use of an organization-wide information technology (IT) by both individuals and groups in a professional organization. We study electronic medical record use by physicians and clinic work groups in two medical practices operating within one multi-specialty health care clinic. Data collection methods include interviews, non-participant observations, and questionnaires. Drawing on theories of professional organizations and complex adaptive systems, we offer as an explanation of heterogeneity in IT use by individuals that IT use is a function of professional values and expertise and of heterogeneity of IT use among groups the insight that IT use at a collective level is an emergent property arising from the interactions of diverse, learning agents. This study contributes to information systems research by enriching current understandings of IT use and by providing new insights about heterogeneous IT use in professional organizations. Exploration de l'hétérogénéité dans l'emploi de fichers médicaux électroniques: L'emploi de la technologie informatique en voie de développement et poussée par les valeurs et la compétence Nous étudions deux cabinets médicaux å partir d'une base de données constituée d'entrevues, d'observations par nonparticipants, et de questionnaires. Nous exploitons des théories d'organisations professionnelles et de systèmes adaptatifs complexes pour fournir une explication de l'emploi hétérogène de la technologie informatique par des individus: nous constatons d'abord que l'emploi de la technologie informatique répond aux valeurs professionnelles et à la compétence des individus, et deuxièmement qu'il s'affirme, au niveau collectif, comme une propriété émergente résultant de l'interaction de divers agents d'apprentissage.
