Innovation technology and application issues in Italian e-healthcare.
This work commences with a theoretical discussion about the relationship between innovation technology and application issues in Italian public and private healthcare. It argues that three contexts are important, namely, the "task", "normative" and "organisational" environments. The second part of the paper reports some findings from research, quantitative and qualitative approach, in progress. This describes the attitudes of Italian staff working in the public and private healthcare to the issue of innovation technology in healthcare.
