MSc, Healthcare Management, Faculty of Medicine, Université de Montréal, Canada
BA, Translation, Université de Montréal, Canada
Professor Lapointe’s research integrates information systems management and behavioral issues as well as issues related to the adoption of information systems in healthcare settings. Her work has led to more than 30 papers in peer-reviewed publications, close to 75 presentations in national and refereed conferences and more than 30 invited presentations locally and internationally.
In IS, she has first worked on resistance to information technology; this stream of research has led to several articles in top-tier scholarly international journals and professional refereed journals. One of these papers received the MIS Quarterly Paper of the Year Award in 2005. She is currently working on follow-up projects that include a wide spectrum of user reactions, including enhanced use, ambivalence, collective use and IT addiction. She is also working on projects that deal IT innovation, IT championship, and IT literacy. In the domains of health informatics and healthcare management, she has focused on the implementation and impacts of IT in healthcare settings. She is also working on projects on the use of IT in geriatrics, particularly on the issues related to Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, on chronic care diseases and on knowledge co-creation.
She has developed collaborations with highly recognized researchers at the local, national and international levels. Her interdisciplinary research has included graduated student training and is supported by grants from diverse councils such as the FQRSC, CIHR and SSHRC. She extends her research to impact practice and brings her expertise to the service of the healthcare system through public policy research and hospital board membership.
