| Popis: | PurposeThis paper reports on an action research study based optimization project related to healthcare IT implemented on the Faroe Islands. The aims were to study what constitutes value in the public healthcare setting by applying and activating existing resources in the organization, hence answering the overall research question: How can a resource-based view (RBV) improve benefits management (BM) practices?Design/methodology/approachBy applying a RBV to findings from an action research study of an optimization project of an integrated health information system (HIS), a framework of capabilities needed in a public HIS setting to create value was developed.FindingsThe theoretical contribution is a framework explaining how BM practices and, hence, value can be interrelated in a public healthcare IT system.Research limitations/implicationsThe study shows the need for academic IT professionals to structure and facilitate value generation, especially in the form of creating an innovative and learning environment in the form of an action research based project.Practical implicationsThis study suggests which actors should be motivated and developed in order to ensure value in healthcare IT projects. Having value creation in mind, the model could have potentially broad applicability in a variety of healthcare IT settings.Social implicationsThe findings leads to better usage of public healthcare resources.Originality/valueThe present research studies real problems in a real setting, thus providing distinct ideas on how to improve public value creation by direct engagement of researchers. |
