  abstract = {Health information technology has entered the everyday workflow in a variety of healthcare providers with a
certain degree of independence. This independence may be the cause of difficulty in interoperability and integration for
shared Electronic Health Records (EHRs) which was overcome by a number of interoperability standards. The Health Level
Seven (HL7) is a standard for the interchange of data within the healthcare industry. Although the benefits of adopting HL7
are well known, only a few hospitals in Egypt have actually implemented it. This paper investigates the barriers and success
factors behind the hospitals’ intention to implement HL7, and it presents recommendations which can be used by academics
and practitioners to develop the implementation of HL7 standards},
