The literature identified three major ares of CDIS motivation; patient care gap motivator, internal motivators and external motivators. Patient care emerged as the most important motivation for adopting CDIS, followed by risk management and financial incentives. However, the study also determined that the motivational forces are inter-related and suggests that the decision to adopt CDIS should consider a number of these identified factors.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderhealthhealth caremedical careinformation ethicsCultural ethicsMedia/communication/information ethicsArticle
