Healthcare IT Capabilities and IT-Enabled Innovative Practices in Regional Healthcare Organizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although anecdotal evidence suggests that healthcare organizations are relatively slow to innovate, several healthcare organizations are engaging in innovative practices to improve patient care. Facing significant operational challenges, regional healthcare organizations often provide unique and focused services benefiting the entire community. We adapt the dynamic capabilities theory and process innovation approach as our theoretical lenses, and will utilize a positivist case study approach to explore the underlying capabilities and IT-enabled innovative practices that impact healthcare outcomes in regional healthcare organizations. Findings from this study will have important implications for academic and practitioner literature alike.
