有效利用信息技术是提供有效医疗服务的重要组成部分。目前的方法，医学信息学（MI）的研究作出了重大贡献，成功地利用IT在医疗保健，但重要的挑战仍然有待解决。我们认为，扩大多元智能研究的多学科基础是很重要的，以满足这些研究的挑战。在本文中，我们概述了信息系统（IS）研究中使用的理论和方法，我们相信这些理论和方法可以帮助我们了解医疗保健IT应用和结果。为此，我们讨论了MI和IS研究的重点和方法的一些一般差异，以确定广泛的机会。然后，我们审查的概念和方法的方法，已被应用在医疗保健IT研究。这些包括：技术使用调解，协作工作，体裁理论，解释性研究，行动研究和建模。这些理论和方法在医疗保健信息系统研究的例子进行了说明。
The effective use of information technology (IT) is a crucial component for the delivery of effective services in health care. Current approaches to medical informatics (MI) research have significantly contributed to the success of IT use in health care but important challenges remain to be addressed. We believe that expanding the multi-disciplinary basis for MI research is important to meeting these research challenges. In this paper, we outline theories and methods used in information systems (IS) research that we believe can inform our understanding of health care IT applications and outcomes. To do so, we discuss some general differences in the focus and methods of MI and IS research to identify broad opportunities. We then review conceptual and methodological approaches in IS that have been applied in health care IT research. These include: technology-use mediation, collaborative work, genre theory, interpretive research, action research, and modeling. Examples of these theories and methods in healthcare IS research are illustrated.
