Paper Abstract:
|
This research-in-progress paper describes the development of a research model exploring the antecedents and consequent of e-health innovation in the healthcare sector. Specifically, we argue that entrepreneurial visioning, partnership development, sourcing network associated with e-health capability are important antecedents of e-health innovation. A scale that measures the related constructs of the theoretical model is developed and validated. Large-scale survey data collected from senior management of hospitals and the partial least squares (PLS) method are applied to verify the nomological validity of the proposed hypotheses. The research findings of this current study are expected to advance the understanding of the determining factors for e-health innovation. The results from this research can potentially be applied in advance of e-health innovation for contemporary healthcare organizations to determine their e-health related capability level and prepare the needed changes for e-health implementations to ensure better e-health innovation. |
