A content analysis method was used to examine over 2,000 journal articles from the fields of medical informatics, medicine, and information systems. The authors found that tenets of diffusion of innovations theory were prevalent in the literature. Although several theories are useful in explaining phenomenon in the domain of medical informatics, diffusion of innovation is one such theory that can be applicable to a vast amount of medical informatics research that is focused on new technologies or work processes.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jhisi.2012070104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,15]],"date-time":"2012-08-15T16:08:41Z","timestamp":1345046921000},"page":"44-56","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Use of Diffusion of Innovations Theory in Medical Informatics Research"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Fred K.","family":"Weigel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Eisenhower Army Medical Center, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
