Abstract: Abstract Despite institutional programs and enthusiastic declarations of eHealth potential, the adoption of Health Information Systems, and Electronic Health Record Systems (EHR-S) in particular, has progressed very slowly. Thus, the expected benefits have not fully surfaced. This can be partly ascribed to the lack of attention to organizational and individual variables influencing the success of the EHR-S adoption, in practice as well as in literature. A possible strategy to reduce the risk of failure is to identify some organizational and cultural factors that get the internal environment “ready” for the innovation. This makes it able to manage the change process needed to effectively enact the EHR-S potential and to assure the satisfaction of all stakeholders involved. Using this hypothesis, in this contribution, the preliminary steps of a study aiming to define a framework supporting the analysis and diagnosis of the “organizational readiness” to the EHR-S adoption will be presented. More in detail, the critical dimensions of organizational readiness and the relationship between this construct, project outcomes and the success of EHR-S adoption will be discussed.
