Abstract :
This study seeks to determine the adequacy of a prominent Information Technology (IT) governance framework in the adoption of IT in health settings. Given the relatively slow adoption rates within the healthcare industry in general, and among rural health providers more specifically, we present local knowledge [7]. In doing so, we provide an additional perspective for those seeking to construct theoretical bases for the formulation of health policy intended to promote the adoption of IT as a means of improving healthcare in the rural United States.
