Information Systems Research (ISR) has recently published a new article to the Articles in Advance page:   Article Title "How Hospitals Differentiate Health Information Technology Portfolios for Clinical Care Efficiency: Insights from the HITECH Act"   Authors Jessica Pye (deceased), Arizona State University Arun Rai, Georgia State University John Qi Dong, National Technological University, Singapore   Problem definition We examine how hospitals differentiate their HIT portfolios in response to cost inefficiencies in clinical care processes and HIT policy uncertainty.   Relevance Adapting HIT portfolios to address cost-based shortfalls and policy uncertainty is crucial in shaping service delivery and impacting care costs, making it a key concern for policymakers and hospital decision-makers. Theoretical foundations We combine behavioral theory and institutional theory to explain how hospitals differentiate their HIT portfolios through idiosyncratic learning in response to cost-based performance shortfalls and shifting isomorphic pressures from changes in HIT policy uncertainty.   Methodology We constructed a panel dataset of 11,316 hospital-year observations from 3,319 U.S. hospitals over 2007–2014 to investigate how hospitals’ HIT search differentiation is influenced by cost-based performance shortfalls and policy uncertainty during the phases of the HITECH Act, from conceptualization to enactment to enforcement.   Results Our research provides a key insight: Moderate policy uncertainty, particularly during the HITECH Act's phases, significantly shapes hospitals' search for novel HIT solutions to address performance shortfalls. Hospitals enhance their search differentiation when uncertainty decreases from conceptualization to enactment but reduce it as uncertainty diminishes from enactment to enforcement.   Contributions Our findings surface the utility of combining the behavioral theory of the firm with institutional theory to explain the interdependence among a hospital’s cost-based performance shortfalls, HIT policy uncertainty, and HIT search differentiation. They show how hospital managers and policymakers can reorient their strategies to leverage the interdependencies among these elements, thereby encouraging the pursuit of innovative HIT systems over widespread imitation, to effectively address cost-based performance shortfalls in hospitals.   Short quote Unlocking Healthcare Innovation: hospitals excel in deploying new technologies through peer benchmarking and navigating moderate regulatory uncertainty. Dive into our research to see the transformative impact of this benchmarking strategy combined with moderate policy uncertainty!"   #HealthcareInnovation #HITECHAct #PolicyImpact   Keywords search differentiation, health information technology, performance shortfalls, policy uncertainty, behavioral theory of the firm, institutional theory   Link to article: https://lnkd.in/djh84uad
