Linking Organizational Culture and Hospital Information Systems Implementation

The impact of organizational culture on the successful implementation of information systems (IS) has been studied by some researchers. However, a close examination of the literature shows that researchers examined different attributes of organizational culture, and for the same culture attributes, researchers donot agree with the actual impact of these attributes on IS implementation. This paper seeks to identify a comprehensive set of relevant organizational attributes that have the potential to impact IS implementation in the healthcare setting. Seven organizational values are investigated through case studies, and most of the attributes are found to affect IT implementation success.
