Our study combined transaction cost and sociological perspectives to identify factors that affect a hospitals' willingness to implement EMR exchange. Our findings indicated that the model was valuable and determined which factors influenced the decision to implement EMR exchange at these hospitals (perceived benefits, uncertainty, influence, and reciprocal investments). Our findings indicated that the model was valuable and determined which factors influenced the decision to implement EMR exchange at these hospitals (perceived benefits, uncertainty, influence, and reciprocal investments). Therefore, in our model both TCT and SET variables were included as independent variables and weighted equally to provide a complementary theoretical foundation for studying the hospital decision to adopt EMR exchange. Therefore, EMR exchange not only integrates the records of patients but also helps adopting hospitals increase the quality of health care while reducing costs. ./cache/cord-305353-81qc0iur.txt ./txt/cord-305353-81qc0iur.txt
