Abstract：
The challenges of IT adoption in the healthcare sector have generated much interest across a range of research communities, including Information Systems (IS) and Health Informatics (HI). Given their long-standing interest in IT design, development, implementation, and adoption to improve productivity and support organisational transformation, the IS and HI fields are highly correlated in their research interests. Nevertheless, the two fields serve different academic audiences, have different research foci, and theorise IT artifacts differently. We investigate the dyadic relationship between health information systems (HIS) research in IS and HI through the communication patterns between the two fields. We present the citation analysis results of HIS research published in IS and HI journals between 2000 and 2020. The results revealed that despite the two fields sharing a common interest, communication between them is limited and only about specific topics. Potentially relevant ideas and theories generated in IS have not yet been sufficiently recognised by HI scholars and incorporated into the HI literature. However, the upward trend of HIS publications in IS indicates that IS has the potential to contribute more to HI.
摘要：
医疗保健行业采用IT技术的挑战引起了一系列研究社区的极大兴趣，包括信息系统(IS)和健康信息学(HI)。鉴于他们对IT设计的长期兴趣，发展,实施，并采用以提高生产力和支持组织转型，IS和HI领域的研究兴趣高度相关。然而，这两个领域服务于不同的学术受众，有不同的研究重点，并以不同的方式对IT工件进行理论化。我们通过两个领域之间的通信模式，研究了IS和HI中健康信息系统（HIS）研究之间的二元关系。我们介绍了2000年至2020年在IS和HI期刊上发表的HIS研究的引文分析结果。结果显示，尽管这两个领域有着共同的兴趣，他们之间的交流是有限的，只涉及特定的主题。IS中产生的潜在相关思想和理论尚未被HI学者充分认可并纳入HI文献。然而,IS中HIS出版物的上升趋势表明IS有可能为HI做出更多贡献。
