Adoption and Sophistication of Clinical Information Systems in Greek Public Hospitals: Results from a National Web-based Survey

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the current level of Clinical Information Systems (CIS) adoption and sophistication in Greek public hospitals through a national web-based survey. To do so, a comprehensive measurement instrument that integrates the existing theoretical and empirical literature knowledge on CIS adoption in hospitals was developed.
