Abstract

The adoption of Health IT has been argued to bring about improvements in adopting hospitals. However, examining a panel of hospitals for the adoption of IT, we find that close to 50% of hospitals that adopt a health IT system go on to stop using it during the duration of our panel.1 We find that smaller hospitals and hospitals that are located in areas that have low IT-Intensity are more likely to roll-back IT systems. Additionally, we find that advanced IT systems (that are more complex to implement) are more likely to be rolled back in the absence of complementary services and in smaller organizations. Additionally, we discuss further research that we hope to undertake where we examine the effect of other factors on the probability of roll-back. We hope that reducing this roll-back can reduce the unnecessary costs that hospitals may have to incur as they implement IT systems.
