Abstract:
HMOs are becoming increasingly reliant on health management information systems (HMISs) for their effective functioning, competitive viability, and survival. Because of this critical dependence, HMOs must use disaster recovery planning (DRP) to safeguard their HMIS assets from natural as well as man-made disasters. This article purposes a theoretical framework, based on the theory of organizational innovation, to explain the factors involved in the adoption of DRP by HMOs.
