Do Market Characteristics Matter? Factors Associated with Health Information Exchange
This study explores factors associated with the breadth (extent) and depth (level of detail) of digital information exchange among stakeholders in health information technology (IT) systems. Annual and IT surveys of the American Hospital Association and the U.S. Census Bureau’s small-area income and...

Annual and IT surveys of the American Hospital Association and the U.S. Census Bureau’s small-area income and poverty estimates from 2014–2016 were analyzed for associations between key factors and breadth and depth of information exchange. OLS Regression was used with a sample consisting of 10,040 year-hospital observations. We found that hospital-level variables such as size, ownership type, system affiliation, physician-hospital arrangement, and revenue model affect information exchange. We further found that market-level variables such as concentration ratio, urbanness, and median household income, although they directly affect information exchange, do not moderate the relationship between hospital-level variables and information exchange. Our study fills a gap in the previous literature arising from the lack of research on the determinants of health information exchange.Na-Eun ChoKiHoon HongJongwha ChangMDPI AGarticlehealth information technologyinformation exchangehospitalmarketMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11976, p 11976 (2021) |

This study explores factors associated with the breadth (extent) and depth (level of detail) of digital information exchange among stakeholders in health information technology (IT) systems. Annual and IT surveys of the American Hospital Association and the U.S. Census Bureau’s small-area income and poverty estimates from 2014–2016 were analyzed for associations between key factors and breadth and depth of information exchange. OLS Regression was used with a sample consisting of 10,040 year-hospital observations. We found that hospital-level variables such as size, ownership type, system affiliation, physician-hospital arrangement, and revenue model affect information exchange. We further found that market-level variables such as concentration ratio, urbanness, and median household income, although they directly affect information exchange, do not moderate the relationship between hospital-level variables and information exchange. Our study fills a gap in the previous literature arising from the lack of research on the determinants of health information exchange. |
