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)
