Information Systems for Value Creation in Health Ecosystems: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Uncertainty exists regarding the possible return on investment through health information systems projects. Here, the impact of value creation in the success of health information systems plays an important role. To this end, exploring value creation through stakeholder engagement on a micro-level is essential for the improvement of healthcare practices. Therefore, emphasis is placed on the complexities of information systems within health ecosystems and how value can emerge for different actors through different processes when it comes to ‘value’ ‘co’ and ‘creation’. This paper presents the outcome of a systematic literature that was completed to gain a full understanding of the creation of value through information systems within their ecosystems. Grounded Theory Methodology forms the basis that guided the researcher to identify, evaluate and interpret emerging evidence from the studies reviewed.
