“The innovation-decision process can lead to either adoption, a decision to make full use of an innovation as the best course of action available, or rejection, a decision not to adopt an innovation."


Everett M. Rogers

Current Research

Our current research focuses on the challenges facing our industry:

  • Physician adoption of EMR/EHR in ambulatory care
  • Measuring confidence and knowledge among end-users adopting new technology (See our client research articles)
  • Developing a model for speeding the rate of adoption and sustainability of new technology

Physician Adoption Research

Research question: What is the difference between the organizations’ standards for adoption of the EMR and actual use of the EMR?

Expected outcomes:

  • Adoption dashboard- the gap between prescribed adoption and actual adoption in an organization
  • Use of modeling to determine the most important contributors to adoption
  • Reports to identify metrics most critical to adoption
  • Best places for the organization to focus on improving adoption
