“…At the same time “… innovation in health care is defined as those changes that support health care practitioners focus on the patient by helping health care professionals work smarter, faster, better and more cost effectively” (Thakur et al 2012, p. 564). In healthcare a dominant view on innovation is that it is gained from external and formal research programs that are transferred to practice as a final step (Herzlinger, 2006).…”

Purpose: The technocratic and medicalized model of healthcare is rarely optimal for patients. By connecting two different studies we explore the possibilities of increasing quality of life in cancer care. Methods: The first study captures survival strategies in a historically isolated Arctic village in Norway resulting in Momentary contentment theory, which emerged from analysing four years of participant observation and interview data. The second study conceptualizes everyday life of cancer patients based on in-depth interviews with 19 cancer patients; this was conceptualized as Navigating a new life situation. Both studies used classic grounded theory methodology. The connection between the studies is based on a health design approach. Results: We found a fit between cancer patients challenging life conditions and harsh everyday life in an Arctic village. Death, treatments and dependence have become natural parts of life where the importance of creating spaces-of-moments and a Sense of Safety is imminent to well-being. While the cancer patients are in a new life situation, the Arctic people show a natural ability to handle uncertainties. Conclusion: By innovation theories connected to design thinking, Momentary contentment theory modified to fit cancer care would eventually be a way to improve cancer patients’ quality of life.

“…Boonstra and Broekhuis (2010) stated that the management belief in the potentials of HIS and the level of support it shows will certainly influence the adoption of those systems by healthcare staff. Without the management's important role to motivate and convince the individuals within the organization about the potentials of HIS, the adoption and use of those systems might become a challenging issue (Terry et al, 2008;Thakur et al, 2012). Other researchers reported that the management being disoriented and lacking a full strategic plan can cause the selection of an inappropriate HIS system for their organization and consequently unfulfilling the realistic needs and requirements for their staff and the job-tasks (Davidson & Heslinga, 2006;Ludwick & Doucette, 2009).…”

“…Simultaneously, these HIS systems introduce new work experiences to healthcare staff that did not exist previously, which can create challenges that need to be tackled properly in order to assure the adoption of such systems by healthcare staff and consequently to achieve its success (Cresswell & Sheikh, 2013;McGinn et al,result, this low adoption of HIS systems implies the loss of those substantial budgets that probably cannot be reallocated again for the same purpose. Another reason for HIS low adoption is the complexity of those technologies (Avgar, Litwin, & Pronovost, 2012;Cresswell & Sheikh, 2013;Lluch, 2011;Thakur, Hsu, & Fontenot, 2012;Venkatesh, Sykes, & Zhang, 2011), which might discourage the healthcare staff to use it as it will require them to attend training programs and adds time burdens to the staff's already loaded schedule (Boonstra & Broekhuis, 2010;McGinn et al, 2011). The mere availability of HIS systems within the hospital will not guaranty that the staff will use it and commit to it (Avgar et al, 2012).…”

Healthcare information systems (HIS) are an important part of nowadays hospitals as it provides valuable benefits and functionalities for healthcare provision. However, the implementation and adoption of these complex innovations is a challenging task as documented by the literature; therefore, careful planning and consideration to all important factors that influence the adoption process by healthcare staff is required. Governmental reports stated that the usage of HIS systems within public hospitals of Iraq is still low and problematic; that's why the current study aims at empirically investigating the opinions of healthcare staff regarding the adoption of HIS within public hospitals of Iraq. The current study extended the UTAUT model by integrating additional organizational and environmental factors and for that purpose a questionnaire was developed for obtaining the healthcare staff's opinions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first empirical study that utilized the UTAUT model to tackle the topic of HIS adoption in Iraq public healthcare sector. The study was able to explain 33% and 46% of the variance within the behavioral intention and the usage of HIS, respectively. The practical findings of this quantitative study can be helpful for healthcare officials to address the actual challenges related to HIS adoption and to set proper strategies for implementing futuristic HIS projects.

“…For investigators carrying out research on basically market-regulated healthcare systems (Thakur, Sonya Fontenot, 2012) or on its commercial sector (Meroño-Cerdan, López-Nicolas, 2013) it is typical to regard companies as the main innovation drivers; whereas this group of researchers give the honour to medical practitioners as self-dependent actors of the innovative development common in government regulated healthcare systems and widespread GPs (General Practioneers) (Dopson, Fitzgerald, Ferlie, 2008).…”

The diagnosis of innovative milieu is the initial step in the creation or modification of the milieu, aimed at providing sufficient information for making management decisions. This paper contributes to theoretical and practical aspects of innovative milieu diagnosis. Innovative milieu is regarded as the subsystem of a territory or industry, composed of the specified actors' properties. In contrast to those commonly applied, the diagnosis method proposed firstly enables the capacity of the milieu to create required and suitable whole system innovations to be evaluated, and secondly, it allows diagnosis of innovative milieu in the initial stage of its formation or even in the preconditions. The designed method is applied to the diagnosis of innovative milieu in the healthcare system of Saint Petersburg.
