Spil and Schuring, both affiliated with the University of Twente, The Netherlands, overview the use and diffusion of information systems in the health care sector, paying particular attention to the role of the user. Combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, they examine both classic and contemporary contributions to the field, exploring areas such as physician use of online systems, introducing electronic patient records to hospitals, evaluation of health information systems, and a cross-cultural framework for evaluation.
