    • Assessing and Improving EHRs Data Quality through a Socio-technical Approach 

      Darko-Yawson, Samuel; Ellingsen, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-21)
      The implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in developing countries is considered a means for improving data quality and high quality care. However, existing research, indicate that EHRs have recorded greater quantity of bad data instead of improving the quality of data. The reasons for this is not exactly clear. Accordingly, this paper takes a broader socio-technical approach to explore ...

    • Drivers of expectations: Why are Norwegian general practitioners skeptical of a prospective electronic health record? 

      Hertzum, Morten; Ellingsen, Gunnar; Melby, Line (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-13)
      While expectations are well-known drivers of electronic health record (EHR) adoption, the drivers of expectations are more elusive. On the basis of interviews with general practitioners (GPs), we investigate how the early implementation process drives their expectations of an EHR that is being implemented in Norway. The GPs’ expectations of the prospective EHR are driven by (a) satisfying experiences ...

    • Procurement of artificial intelligence for radiology practice 

      Silsand, Line; Severinsen, Gro-Hilde; Linstad, Line Helen; Ellingsen, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-22)
      The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology for radiology has accelerated in the past decade, but its deployment in radiology practices has been slow. We take a sociotechnical approach and suggest that the limited use of AI in radiology practices can be attributed to a recurring tension between planned and emergent change. The paper contributes with a conceptualization and understanding ...
