Hi Casey,

If this were me - and remember it is biased towards my specialist fields - I would be using Social Learning Theory/Socio-Cognitive Theory as my framework. HIT, to me, fits very well under the umbrella of emerging 'Health Communication' interventions. The primary drivers are behavioural change capacity as they relate to social media/social marketing and health literacy considerations. While HIT relates to medical pragmatics - such as patient record data, adaptive technologies etc - it also closely relates to e-health, i-health and m-health initiatives. These are often reliant on media formats and heath service outcomes are often related to the measurement of health-status-related behavioural change.

Our recent paper, A Framework for Contracted Health IT Performance Assessments, might interest you / contain useful references. The full text is available on the publisher's website

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00185868.2018.1556371

or you can access the author copy via ResearchGate.

Perhaps, this can be of help:

Goossen WT. Nursing information management and processing: a framework and definition for systems analysis, design and evaluation. Int J Biomed Comput. 1996 Jan;40(3):187-95. Review.

Goossen WTF (2000). Nursing Informatics Research. Nurse Researcher, 8 (2): 42-54.

Written from a nursing perspective, but generic enough for health informatics at large. I am still applying most of it in daily practice.

I have no expertise in this area, but since ResearchGate prompted me to answer, I'll throw in my two cents.

Hamlet Gasoyan 's paper mentioned above appears to have a good set of references. I saw a couple by Julia Adler-Milstein, whom I'd look to as an expert in evaluation of HIT ecosystems. I didn't see a reference to IOM's famous "To Err Is Human", which seems like it should be a starting point for any look at HIT outcomes.

Overall, I wonder if asking for theoretical framework recommendations is a good place to start. Although I don't know this literature myself, I believe it is quite extensive and you might do better to choose whatever you consider to be the most important paper most relevant to your research questions, and take that as a guide, both in terms of theoretical framework and, possibly, for actual study design. Replication studies should always be a first choice when covering previous explored territory (IMHO).

Good luck!

Hi.

As a general I can recommend "e-nabız" implemented by the ministry of health in Turkey. It has a widespread use potential for both health service beneficiaries and healthcare providers. The development is very clear and can have many benefits for all parties.

Good luck!

The FITT framework ("Fit between Individuals, IT task and Technology") might be helpful.

Ammenwerth et al (2005): IT-adoption and the interaction of task, technology and individuals: a fit framework and a case study (open access and available on ResearchGate)

I would recommend you the Chonic Care Model (CCM). It's a great model and it makes the link between Health Information System / IT and outcomes. The Chronic Care Model (CCM) is a multifaceted, evidence-based framework for enhancing care delivery by identifying essential components of the health care system that can be modified to support high-quality, patient-centered chronic disease management.1 The CCM provides a systematic approach to practice transformation. Interrelated elements of the CCM include:

• Health systems, including culture, organizations, and mechanisms to promote safe, high-quality care
• Decision support based on evidence and patients’ preferences and needs
• Clinical information systems to organize patient and population data
• Patient self-management support to enable patients to manage their health and health care
• Community resources to mobilize patient resources
• Delivery system design for clinical care and self-management support, including team care.
