Keeping pace with the healthcare transformation: a literature review and research agenda for a new decade of health information systems research
Electronic Markets (em) Vol. 31, (VHB-JOURQUAL 3 Rating: B)

View Abstract
Background Accelerated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, major and lasting changes are occuring in healthcare structures, impacting people's experiences and value creation in all aspects of their lives. Information systems (IS) research can support analysing and anticipating resulting effects. Aim The purpose of this study is to examine in what areas health information systems (HIS) researchers can assess changes in healthcare structures and, thus, be prepared to shape future developments. Method A hermeneutic framework is applied to conduct a literature review and to identify the contributions that IS research makes in analysing and advancing the healthcare industry. Results We draw an complexity theory by borrowing the concept of 'zooming-in and out', which provides us with a overview of the current, broad body of research in the HIS field. As a result of analysing almost 500 papers, we discovered various shortcomings of current HIS research. Contribution We derive future pathways and develop a research agenda that realigns IS research with the transformation of the healthcare industry already under way.

Dezentrale Plattformen: Idee, Entwicklung, Perspektiven
BIT Banking and Information Technology 22:2, p. 69-78 (VHB-JOURQUAL 3 Rating: D)

View Abstract
BIT. Banking and Information Technology, 22. Jg. (2021), Nr. 2, S. 69-78 Die Nutzung digitaler Plattformen ist zu einem selbstverständlichen Teil unseres Lebens geworden. Statt Geschäfte und Filialen aufzusuchen, führt uns der Weg auf Vergleichsplattformen, auf Social-Media-Plattformen, zu Suchmaschinen oder direkt auf Handelsplattformen. Üblicherweise basieren die Geschäftsmodelle die-ser Plattformen auf einer zentralen Steuerung. Aufgrund hoher Skalierbarkeit des Geschäfts haben sich einige dieser Plattfirmen in kurzer Zeit zu Quasi-Monopolen entwickelt. Aufgrund dessen werden diese Unternehmen oftmals dafür kritisiert, den produzierten Wert nicht ausreichend mit denjenigen zu teilen, die erheblich zur Wertschöpfung beigetragen haben – nämlich den Käufern und Verkäufern. Als Alternative zu den zentral gesteuerten Plattformen werden dezentrale Plattformen gesehen. Der Charme dieser Plattformen liegt darin, dass sie Anbieter und Kunden direkt miteinander verbinden und es somit ermöglichen, den Intermediär sowie die von ihm verlangten Margen zu umgehen. Dazu werden die Blockchain-Technologie und selbstausführende Verträge genutzt. In diesem Beitrag skizzieren die Autoren das Konzept, die Charakteristika und die Entwicklung dezentraler Plattformen. Weitere Aspekte sind die Rolle der Blockchain-Technologie in solchen Netzwerken und die Klassifikation von dezentralen Plattformen. Außerdem befassen sich die Autoren mit den Perspektiven sowie der Bedeutung dieser Plattformen für Banken.

Towards the Design of a Gamified Application to Increase Tuberculosis Treatment Adherence in Vietnam
Proceedings of the 56th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS)

View Abstract
Despite being treatable, tuberculosis (TB) remains among the most common causes of death worldwide. One of the countries with the highest-burden from TB is Vietnam. A major factor responsible for the high mortality rate is nonadherence to medication and the subsequent outbreak of multidrug-resistant forms of TB, which are harder to treat and show a lower chance of survival. Existing measures to increase medication adherence focus on monitoring medication intake without considering the reasons for nonadherence – the stigmatization of TB patients. Addressing this problem, we design a concept for a patient-centered, gamified application aiming to reduce stigmatization and empower TB patients. Based on a literature review and interviews with experts from science and practice, including former TB patients, we elaborate on the functionalities and gamified elements of the application. Eventually, we present the design concept for the application based on Lui et al.’s framework for designing a gamified information system.

Meta-View of Blockchain Technology Tensions in Organizational Implementation and Use
Proceedings of the 55th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS)

View Abstract
Blockchain inherits tensions that depend on its infrastructure design as well as distinctive features of, among others, smart contracts and storage mechanisms. Studies propose coping strategies for companies that deal with blockchain-related tensions, but so far suggestions are characterized by context-and case-specificity. This paper proposes a meta-view on tensions arising from the implementation and usage of blockchain in organizational contexts. A structured literature review is conducted to condense existing insights from the literature to a meta-view on blockchain-related tension. A framework provides insights into different types of tensions. The framework has two aims: (1) providing a foundation to jointly build insights and IS theorization on blockchain tensions without being case-and context-sensitive. (2), it provides food for thought for companies that want to implement or use blockchain, which serves as first step toward developing recommendations that guide companies through identifying and managing tensions arising from blockchain implementation and usage.

Solve for Blockchain: Toward A Framework for Navigating Blockchain Tensions
Proceedings of the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS)

View Abstract
Given its decentralized nature, blockchain technology can lead to the emergence of various organizational or technological tensions, especially when used as an infrastructure for inter- and intra-corporate information exchange. These tensions are potentially a barrier to the adoption of the technology and can lead to vulnerabilities of the organizations and its long-term viability, so it is important that researchers have an overview, as well as an in-depth understanding, of the consequences of these tensions. We use a paradox lens and a literature review to synthesize the tensions emerging through blockchain adoption and implementation already identified in the IS literature. We develop an initial framework that classifies and provides an overview of different tensions, including governance-, regulatory-, and process-related issues. This resulting framework provides a holistic overview on different types of tensions that have so far only been considered case-specifically or separately in the IS literature.

Determining Platform Governance: Framework for Classifying Governance Types
Proceedings of the 41st International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), A Virtual AIS Conference

View Abstract
Driven by blockchain technology, decentralized platform-based business models emerged that challenge current conceptualizations of platform governance. While researchers developed first conceptualizations of decentralized platform governance, hitherto, there does not exist a comprehensive framework capable of determining decentralized forms of governance. To develop such a framework, we ask, „What determines platform governance, and how can we capture gradients of decentralization?“. To answer this question, we use a structured literature review to develop a framework encompassing three governance types: centralized, decentralized, and autonomous platform governance. Subsequently, we work out five components based on which the respective governance types are defined, thereby allowing a fine granular analysis of platform governance. We assert that the developed platform governance framework will assist researchers to determine divergent types of platform governance. Thereby, this paper delivers a deeper understanding and a basis for discussion on how decentralized governance may, or should look like.

TOWARDS A TAXONOMY OF DECENTRALIZED PLATFORM-BASED BUSINESS MODELS
Proceedings of the 28th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS), A Virtual AIS Conference

View Abstract
Decentralized platform-based business models (DPBMs) promise to provide an alternative to extant centralized platform-based business models, such as those of Amazon, Uber, and Airbnb. In particular, DPBMs are expected to connect platform users directly, without the need for an intermediary, leading to a fairer distribution of value creation and capture. While IS researchers have so far been primarily concerned with the governance and design issues of DPBMs, as well as factors influencing their acceptance, there exist only limited insights on what actually comprises a DPBM. Aiming to close this research gap, this paper is dedicated to answering the question of how DPBMs can be characterized. Applying a three-stage research plan, consisting of two successively conducted literature reviews and subsequent case study analysis, we derive a taxonomy that provides insights into DPBMs’ key dimensions, characteristics, and attributes. Notably, we are the first to develop a DPBM taxonomy that could assist IS researchers in assessing and differentiating DPBMs from traditional, centralized platform-based business models. The DPBM taxonomy, thereby, not only lays a solid foundation for further research concerned with DPBMs but also fosters a shared scientific understanding of this new phenomenon.

What keeps ICT from providing a valuable contribution to healthcare? A literature study
Proceedings of the 30th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Salt Lake City, Utha, USA

View Abstract
In 2019, the United Nations called for concerted efforts to achieve universal health. To reach this goal, the use of e-and mHealth applications plays a decisive role. Unfortunately, despite positive benefits such as mobility and accessibility, many ICT applications fail. To work out the reasons, we conducted a literature study that dissects each layer of the literature on ICT applications in the healthcare sector. By analyzing the scope, the focus, and the type of academic research, we deliver an overview of the relevant facets of the topic. Thereupon, we analyze the case studies presented in the literature to identify the factors being responsible for the failure and success of ICT applications. We find that most studies ignore regional and cultural aspects. Together with the lack of coordination between the involved stakeholders, this leads to the failure of ICT applications as they are not being developed in a target-oriented manner.

Designing a Gamified Adherence System for Tuberculosis Treatment Support in Urban Vietnam
Proceedings of the 54th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS)

View Abstract
Tuberculosis remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases in Vietnam. Its occurrence is exacerbated by erratic treatment, in particular by taking medication only sporadically or if patients discontinue the medication in an early stage. Previous approaches to support treatment adherence focus on monitoring (e.g., tele-observation) or external stimulation (e.g., rewards). These approaches, however, have not yet shown the desired effects. We assert that this is because current approaches focus on combatting the outcome, i.e., erratic treatment, instead of tackling the reasons for treatment non-compliance. Notably, the latter is heavily related to the stigmatization of TB patients and, especially, self-stigmatization. Using a design science research approach, this paper proposes a research plan for developing a gamified information system that aims at reducing patients self-stigmatization, by providing features that support TB patients community building as well as TB patients empowerment.
