The Impact of Interdependent Risk on Health Care Information Infrastructure Effectiveness

This study explores how health care organizations mitigate risks due to infrastructure interdependencies using the information systems success framework. Specifically, this study examines whether interdependent risks affect information infrastructure effectiveness and, if so, what are the critical factors? How are interdependent risks mitigated by those factors across stakeholders? And how does mass disaster affect the stakeholders’ perception of interdependent risks? This study makes a contribution to the literature on information infrastructure and risk management. This study will offer empirical support for the proposed framework on risk mitigation for infrastructure interdependent risks by using an information systems success framework. Further, this study will empirically support the theorized link between the way interdependent risks are managed and an organization’s information infrastructure.
