Competing institutional logics in healthcare organizations: theorising digitalism

PurposeThe digitalisation of healthcare services has proven to be difficult, with numerous negative effects. We argue that the reason for the problem is not poor project management, but a clash of different institutional logics. The aim of this article is to explore, define and theorise the concept of digitalism, as a term for a new institutional logic in contrast to other, more known logics in organisations, such as managerialism and professionalism, to better understand processes of digitalisation.Design/methodology/approachWe illustrate our arguments with a case study of a process of organizational development before and after the implementation of centralised large-scale IT systems at a large Norwegian hospital. Data was extracted from documents and observations from January 2015 to January 2016 during an organizational audit. In addition, a follow-up study was conducted in 2019 and 2024 by interviewing eight key personnel who were involved in the implementation process.FindingsThe implementation of a new digital health record in a Norwegian hospital is a process of social restructuring that involves new actors, logics and control systems. The process of digitalisation shows us how digitalism create tensions, diverges and merges with other institutional logics.Practical implicationsUnderstanding digitalism as a sensitising concept offers insights into how large-scale technology and organizations are tied together and can help to reduce organizational dysfunctionalities and improve the implementation of IT systems.Originality/valueThis study contributes to a new understanding of digitalisation processes and links an ongoing theoretical debate on the digitalisation of organizations with empirical findings.

Managing In-Company IT Standardization: A Design Theory

Today’s companies rely heavily on in-company information technology standards (ICITS) to reduce costs, ensure flexibility, and facilitate the planning, implementation, and operation of IT systems. Steering and managing ICITS has proven to be challenging, revealing the need for efficient governance mechanisms. But even though prior research demonstrates the challenges of ICITS, viable advice on how to implement ICITS is scarce. In this paper, we develop an organizational design theory for the management of ICITS based on the framework of organizational control theory. We conducted a critical case study to identify basic goals, constitutive elements, and fundamental mechanisms of a working ICITS management. The resulting design goals and principles were then evaluated and further refined in the light of additional expert interviews. With our work, we wish to extend the body of theoretical knowledge on the management of ICITS and help practitioners master the various challenges occurring in this domain.

Multi-criteria human resources planning optimisation using genetic algorithms enhanced with MCDA

The main objective of this paper is to present an example of the IT system implementation with advanced mathematical optimisation for job scheduling. The proposed genetic procedure leads to the Pareto front, and the application of the multiple criteria decision aiding (MCDA) approach allows extraction of the final solution. Definition of the key performance indicator (KPI) reflecting relevant features of the solutions, and the efficiency of the genetic procedure provide the Pareto front comprising the representative set of feasible solutions. The application of chosen MCDA, namely elimination et choix traduisant la réalité (ELECTRE) method, allows for the elicitation of the decision maker (DM) preferences and subsequently leads to the final solution. This solution fulfils all of the DM expectations and constitutes the best trade-off between considered KPIs. The proposed method is an efficient combination of genetic optimisation and the MCDA method.

IT Project Management: Supply Chain Optimization for Service Operations

IT project management can use both project and process-oriented approaches. Pre-investment, investment (development and implementation phase), and operations and maintenance are the three phases that make up the life cycle of an IT project. The service processes are part of the third phase. The earliest stage of an IT project's life cycle necessitates a substantial financial commitment. As a result, it may be considered a business venture. As a result, project management concepts and techniques may be used in the implementation of IT projects. During the investment phase, methods for software development and testing are implemented. It is carried out in compliance with industry standards that govern the deployment of life cycle models. The size of the program code and the complexity of the software determine the cost and timeliness of IT system implementation, maintenance, and servicing jobs. As a result, the process approach can be used to manage various phases of large-scale IT projects. Supply chain optimization, in particular, can be used advantageously. This report is devoted to the optimization of supply chains for service operations at the stage of implementation and maintenance of large IT projects. A feature of this approach is that the human resources of an IT service support team are considered as a subject for the supply chain. Conditions are also given that the supply chain for service operations considered has the resilience and viability properties. The parameters for the multiple-channel queuing model are calculated using the mathematical model presented in this paper. Microsoft Excel is used to implement this model. It enables us to generate estimations for the average time of maintenance and support jobs during the pre-investment phase, as well as determine the optimal size for the IT service support team.

The Relationship Between Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) and Facilitators to Achieve Successful Business Outcomes in South Korean Organizations

Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) is an important process in the implementation and use of IT systems in today’s dynamic and increasingly digitalized organizations. However, SISP is not a straightforward task, it is a process that covers simultaneous multiple planning issues often in changing environmental and organizational climates. Although SISP has been widely studied, and evaluating the SISP process has matured, theory on SISP facilitators that enable successful outcomes remain sparse. The main objective of this paper is to explore such facilitators and to investigate their relationship and contribution in achieving SISP success. By postal surveying a random sample of managers with SISP experience in South Korean organizations, we modeled the relationship between facilitators of SISP and their outcomes. The study used Structural Equation Modelling to analyze and validate its findings. This study suggests that facilitators positively affect successful SISP through business and IT alignment. It also demonstrates that effective SISP has a positive effect on organizational outcomes by ensuring organizational capabilities and IT infrastructure flexibility. The findings of this study expounding the role of facilitators adds to the theory of SISP and provides a guide to planners and managers responsible for information systems.

Social media and corporate innovation management—Eight rules to form an innovative organisation

This paper explores the potential of using social media to achieve a higher degree of effectiveness in innovation management in a corporate context. When using online social media platforms to increase in-house communication effectiveness for innovation processes within corporations, two complementary worlds have to be considered separately, but have to be combined and harmonized as they are closely intertwined: the creative phase of flexible and uncontrolled information exchange, as well as the linear process world that is needed to steer the financial and business management issues of a company. So far, the general discussion has mainly focused on certain aspects of social media, such as the mass-scale networking of users of different self-portrayal and interaction platforms, such as LinkedIn and Xing, or the ‘wisdom of the crowd’ effect for large scale idea platforms, or as a marketing tool to reach target groups with dedicated messages. However, there are essential cultural and motivational issues, which have to be given due consideration as a prerequisite for the implementation of social media as an in-house communication platform in the context of corporate innovation management. Social media mechanisms are principally based on information sharing. In a corporate environment, however, shared information does not necessarily translate into equal benefits for all those involved. Such a mismatch could lead to significant drawbacks for staff members and consequently hinders effective innovation processes. Thus, the barriers to effective innovation performance have to be promptly identified and duly considered when implementing Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) tools based on online social media functions. The findings of the study, described in this paper, which are based on the practical observation of the real-world behaviour of employees within an organisational context, will contribute to better understanding when and how to use online social media tools within organisations. They also clearly demonstrate that the implementation of new IT systems within organisations is not only a mere technology issue. The paper proposes as conclusion eight recommendations to form an innovation-supportive organisation culture as a prerequisite for an effective online social media usage within firms.

About problems of implementation of it-systems in practical health care

The article presents the background of healthcare system computerization development starting from the time when preconditions for IT systems implementation appeared up to the present moment. It outlines the problems that emerged in the course of implementing the projects aimed at computerizing the RF Healthcare System and providing a high-technology support for it; it features also the indicators related to financial investments into the healthcare information systems. Based on the reports of the authorized agencies the project implementation efficiency is analyzed and solution options for the existing problems are shown. The article reveals development prospects for IT implementation in healthcare. Objective. Study of IT systems development and incorporation into the practical healthcare structure of the Russian Federation based on the freely available data. Laws and regulations, including reports in healthcare, publications of Russian and foreign lead researchers in economics and medical administration, analytical reviews of consulting companies such as RBC, Price Waterhouse Coopers (London, UK), C-News Analytics (Russia, Moscow), and Vademecum business magazine (Russia, Moscow). Results. The healthcare computerization process in Russia is slower than it is set out in the Governmental plans. The most common and significant problems include the following: lack of funding for the computerization process in general; irrational distribution of resources within the projects and selection of a costly computerization strategy from the beginning; corrupt practices; conflicts between customers with the contractors because of which many projects were not implemented; management problems; a clash between the current legislation to modern technologies and trends, lack of efforts aimed at implementation of healthcare information systems on the part of the regional authorities. Conclusion. To make the healthcare computerization more successful it is required to awaken a commercial interest in the private IT companies to attract additional investment. Personal responsibility of the officials in charge of the computerization should become more stringent in case of a delay in a project or a project failure, the government procurement system should be improved in order to attract the most qualified integrators, the interaction between healthcare managers at various levels with the integrators should be facilitated through reducing bureaucratic «paper» load. At the state level it is necessary to focus on the operational improvement of the RF legislation to ensure the progressive development and implementation of information technologies.

ИНФОРМАЦИОННАЯ МОДЕЛЬ ФУТБОЛА НА ПРИМЕРЕ УЧАСТИЯ СБОРНОЙ РОССИИ НА ЧМ 2018

Aim. The purpose of this work is to show the football information model (FIM) on the example of a practically significant task of the successful performance of the Russian national team at 2018 World Cup. Material and Methods. We watched video recordings of 2016-2017 Russian Premier League and fixed won and lost individual confrontations according to a list of 50 components. We transformed the results in a player’s rating on a game component. We registered the speed of their decrease during a game. The data on national and club teams were obtained with the help of www.myscore.ru website and were processed using www.ra-first.com website. During the study we also used the software developed by masters’ degree students. Results. At a usual level of management effectiveness of Rt = 2563 the Russia national football team achieved a 1:0 victory over Egypt, lost to Saudi Arabia 1:2 and to Uruguay 0:2. However, a more favorable outcome is possible, in which the Russia national team is able to reach ¼ final. We determined the initial team from the number of >100 Russian Premier League players having a Russian passport, which would have the largest number of individual confrontations won over these rivals. We also determined an optimal number of such confrontations in each component of the game. We selected the most successful combinations for this team in each game, developed using individual confrontations with the greatest advantage of our players. Conclusion. The problem of the assessment of a player’s level and game tactics has remained unchanged since the 60-es and is still resolved by the number (%) of tactical and technique actions, which does not correlate with a game outcome. Therefore, coaches manage the game. However, the volume of information in football is too large for one coach. The information model proposed demonstrates the advantage over coach decisions and reflects the tendency of IT-system implementation in sports management.
