Allah has also blessed me with unending gifts by the "three Magi" in my life. Gifts from my mom and dad have shaped my life. My mom was my first teacher. I can still recall closing my eyes the day she first taught me how to write. I learned from her to be simple, tolerant, and diligent in my personal life. My dad shaped my world view. He taught me the value of education and encouraged me to be an academician. I lost my mom in 2009 shortly after starting the Ph.D. program at the School of Public Affairs Administration (SPAA) in the Fall of 2008, and my dad passed away in 2011. In those very difficult times, my wife, Sania, shared with me all the sorrows and anguish of my personal life. She shielded all the difficulties and kept the daily problems apart from my studies, and helped me be active in pursuing my Ph.D. Without her endless encouragement and endurance, it would have been impossible to accomplish my dream journey towards doctoral degree. I dedicate this dissertation to my beloved mom, dad, and my wife, Sania-the three "Magi" of my life.

Globally, United States is significantly behind some European and Australian countries in implementation of EHR. While the federal government is now mandating this change and also offering incentive programs, healthcare providers remain slow to comply because of challenges they face regarding EHR implementation. This paper discusses EHR architecture, presents implementation challenges, provides a case study and offers future research ideas. The information provided in this research could be beneficial for successful EHR implementation.

Supporters of these two traditions ―sometimes seem to be at war regarding the supremacy of their respective tradition in analyzing social phenomena (King, Keohane and Verba, 1994). In general, this war is quite visible in the field of social science and in public administration, which refers as federal, state and local government, as a discipline of social science. Transcending the boundaries of academia this debate has received considerable interest recently from people every corner of the society for several reasons. Any interested observer of current U.S. politics can notice these different views in the debates regarding U.S. government policies on the recent health care re-form, bail out policies of financial institutions and auto industries. In general, liberals and Democrats in Congress supported these policies an...
