The Trajectory of IT in Healthcare at HICSS: A Literature Review, Analysis, and Future Directions

Research has extensively demonstrated that healthcare industry has rapidly implemented and adopted information technology in recent years. Research in health information technology (HIT), which represents a major component of the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, demonstrates similar findings. In this paper, review the literature to better understand the work on HIT that researchers have conducted in HICSS from 2008 to 2017. In doing so, we identify themes, methods, technology types, research populations, context, and emerged research gaps from the reviewed literature. With much change and development in the HIT field and varying levels of adoption, this review uncovers, catalogs, and analyzes the research in HIT at HICSS in this ten-year period and provides future directions for research in the field

A Bibliometric Analysis of the HICSS Software Technology Track

The HICSS Software Technology track has a long tradition and many papers have been published as part of its history. Its impact in terms of citations, paper contributions, author share and community impact does not yet seem to have been investigated, though. In particular, software technology has evolved, and as it stands, it is of primary importance for mobile computing, the Internet-of-Things and Cyber-physical Systems. Hence, the development of these topics and the related impact of this track are of particular interest. In this paper, we present a bibliographic analysis as a first step towards such an investigation. We found that the history of the track is indeed noteworthy. Our results include finding a few extremely much cited papers, some curious tendencies, and a generally favourable outlook for HICSS. We found that indeed many papers in the history of this HICSS track addressed mobile technology and are highly cited. Together with providing insight into track, paper and author impact, we also raise questions worth of further investigation to understand the role of the HICSS Software Technology track and its impact on the academic field and society

Digitalisation and Enterprise Knowledge (net)Working

Social media and emerging mobile technologies have forever changed the landscape of human interaction. Furthermore, they already play a pivotal role also in enterprises as a part of the organisational Knowledge Management System. Almost all large organisations have already implemented at least one Enterprise Social Media tool since they enable collaboration, provide easy access to information, and are available at reasonable costs. The effects of the decoupling of the real and the virtual world (as a result of Social Media use) on the construct knowledge and on knowledge management are still not sufficiently investigated. Against this background, the paper presents an exploratory approach of the development of a specific morphological tableau as an instrument for the analysis of employees’ behavior in context of knowledge management related ESM use. Furthermore, the application of the tableau is exemplary illustrated and further research steps are explained

Enterprise Content Management - A Literature Review

Managing information and content on an enterprise-wide scale is challenging. Enterprise content management (ECM) can be considered as an integrated approach to information management. While this concept received much attention from practitioners, ECM research is still an emerging field of IS research. Most authors that deal with ECM claim that there is little scholarly literature available. After approximately one decade of ECM research, this paper provides an in-depth review of the body of academic research: the ECM domain, its evolution, and main topics are characterized. An established ECM research framework is adopted, refined, and explained with its associated elements and working definitions. On this basis, 68 articles are reviewed, classified, and concepts are derived. Prior research is synthesized and findings are integrated in a concept-centric way. Further, implications for research and practice, including future trends, are drawn

Review of performance of various Big Databases

Relational databases have been the main model for information data storage, retrieval and administration.A relational database is a table-based data system where there is no scalability, insignificant information duplication, computationally costly table joins and trouble in managing complex information. The greatest inspiration of NoSQL is adaptability. NoSQL information stores are broadly used to store and recover potentially a lot of information.In this paper, we assess four most famous NoSQL databases: Cassandra, MongoDB, and CouchDB

Web 2.0 Use and Organizational Innovation: A Knowledge Transfer Enabling Perspective

Over the last several years, a variety of Web 2.0 applications has been widely adopted by individual users and recently has received great attention from organizations. While an increasing number of organizations have started utilizing Web 2.0 applications in hopes of boosting collaboration and driving innovations, only a small number of different theoretical perspectives are available in the literature that facilitate a further understanding of the phenomenon of organizational adoption of Web 2.0 to drive innovation. In this paper, we propose a theoretical model explicating this phenomenon from the perspective that Web 2.0 use enhances knowledge transfer by fostering the emergence of informal networks, weak ties, boundary spanners and social capital. This model conceptualizes the process through which organizations drive innovations by utilizing Web 2.0 applications. Based on this perspective, suggestions for organizations to facilitate this process are also provided

E-government: a new vision for success.

One of the most important emerging applications of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is e-government. Perceived as providing benefits to the community by overcoming the complexity of bureaucracy, increasing the efficiency of the economy, reducing services' time, and permitting businesses and citizens to connect to government information, it is likely to become a part of life for citizens and businesses. However, the initial push to implement e-government projects resulted in a number of projects that failed, either partially or completely (Heeks, 2003a). A major reason offered for these failures is that governments were applying the conventional ICT project formula to e-government, without consideration of other features that are particular to e-government. E-government has its unique combination of features and characteristics that should be taken into consideration at design and implementation stages to determine its success. The primary aim of this paper is to identify the main characteristics of e-government in order to assess the range of aspects that are likely to affect the success or failure of an e-government project. We begin by setting out the concept of e-government, and its importance in an esociety. Noting the failure rate of e-government projects, we follow with a discussion of Critical Success Factors (CSF’s) – i.e. aspects that must be taken into account to ensure the success of a project. We identify the range of aspects of e-government, and align these to CSF’s. Finally, we argue that current CSF’s in e-government do not take into account the full range of characteristics that apply to this sector, and that new e-government CSF’s are needed in order to improve the success rate of e-government projects

Digital Service: Technological Agency in Service Systems

This paper defines digital service in the context of technologically enhanced value co-creation between service system entities. Progress in digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasing the relative share of technologically enhanced value co-creation between service system entities (e.g., people, companies, nations). Highly automated technical systems increasingly act as autonomous agents, on behalf of service providers, in value co-creation interactions with the system users. Sufficient conceptualization, abstractions and modeling paradigms for research and development of this type of value co-creation are absent from the literature and introduced in this paper. The main contribution of the paper is introduction and definition of digital service and digital service membrane as fundamental concepts in service science and service systems, with directions for future research on the topic
