Policy context and digital development: a comparative study of trajectories in 4 Canadian academic health centers over 30 years.
The digitalization of health records stands to improve decision-making at clinical, administrative, and policy level. Efforts follow various paths and are closely intertwined with health system and organizational configurations. Problems persist in both uptake and use. This study explores the digitalization trajectories of academic health centers (AHCs) to understand tensions between organizational and government strategies and their impact on digital development.
