IT and Institutional Constraints: Effects of Legal and Administrative Constraints to Use IT in Production of Health Care Service

This paper looks into the legal and administrative frameworks governing the different aspects of using IT as a medium and a tool in production of health care services. The administrative framework is described from the point of view of the status quo in Finland. The issues are elaborated by a discussion of a number of legal aspects and a short description of normative insights from actors in the health care production collected through a survey.
