This monograph discusses challenges faced during the implementation
of national eHealth programs. In particular, it analyzes the causes
of stakeholders' reluctance to adopt these technologies by drawing
on user resistance theory and context specific variables. Taking
the example of the introduction of the electronic health card
(Elektronische Gesundheitskarte - eGK) technology in Germany, the
book presents insights into why these programs are often lengthy,
costly and have previously been met with fierce resistance from key
stakeholders. It also presents a quantitative and qualitative study
of individual physicians' resistance behavior towards these new
eHealth technologies.
