Abstract
The major objectives of this study are to identify the key organizational factors that facilitate and/or inhibit the IS outsourcing in Korean hospitals, and to analyze the differences between adopter & non-adopters and successful ones and not-successful ones. In order to achieve the research objectives, we derived comprehensive lists of potential facilitators and inhibitors from the past research, and conducted a field survey on 135 hospitals in metropolitan area. The analysis results suggest that organizational, financial and strategic factors are the most important facilitators, while organizational, psychological, vendor-related and environmental factors are the most important inhibitors. In addition, it was found that factors differentiating adopters and non-adopters are organizational factor(facilitator) and environmental factor(inhibitor) while strategic factor is a differentiating one between successful hospitals and unsuccessful ones.
