The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a complex innovation involving many actors with different interests. Starting with a brief summary of the evidences emerging from literature on determinants of EHR adoption and on conditions influencing its implementation, this article focuses on a particularly relevant aspect with respect to the different actors involved in the EHR implementation, i.e., the governance and the different models through which it is exercised. In addition to outlining the main theoretical contributions, the article analyzes the governance model adopted in the case of the Veneto Region, which is characterized by the strong innovation prerogatives of healthcare providers. In the light of literature and Veneto Region case, some conclusions with respect to EHR governance are presented.
