Information Systems (IS) play an important role in improving the efficiency of firms’ operations and supply chains, which links to sustainability. Therefore, this study conducted a systematic literature network analysis to review 132 articles that discuss current trends in the IS discipline. Based on a citation network analysis, this study discovered three main research domains (sustainable competitive advantage, environmental sustainability, and sustainable online social communities), and two emerging research domains (the role of IS in developing countries and sustainable information infrastructures). Furthermore, a main path analysis was conducted to understand the knowledge structure of each research domain. This addresses how different trends are reflected in the IS literature related to improving firms’ competitive advantages and environmental sustainability. The results found that the sustainable competitiveness of enterprises is improved by the synergy between IS and other recourses within in the enterprises. Green IS initiatives not only solve the issues of environmental sustainability, but also enhance sustainable competitive advantage (i.e., stock price). As social media becomes the optimal enterprise communication channel, this study discusses the factors affecting sustainable online social community, such as structural dynamics (i.e., membership size, communication activity), social dynamics (the basic nature of interactions among members), participation costs, and topic consistency. Overall, the Information System literature is highly focused on three areas—economy, environment, and society, which supports Triple Bottom Line theory.

“…OHC is also crucial from the business operation and delivery points of view.The OHC offers scope for storage and distribution of health records that provide flexibility to users to obtain and maintain medical history. Health information exchange using OHC enables centralized access to patient health information, which leads to better and faster care services by eliminating the time, distance and cost barriers (Demirezen et al, 2016).…”

“…IT developers and managers are key for any virtual healthcare system as they need to understand the practical requirements and design the solution with contemporary market standards. Along with the business needs, developers must focus on crucial operational aspects such as secure and credible information, 24 × 7 information availability, smart and user-friendly interfaces, social media integration and user authentication, which are pivotal to any OHC (Demirezen et al, 2016).…”

The rise of online platforms for health information exchange is changing the traditional healthcare delivery practices. With Internet technologies, online healthcare practices are continuously growing through their diversified delivery functionalities with better and faster reachability. Participants use such forums for various purposes, for instance, to gather information, seek medical assistance, connect with other users, and purchase healthcare products or services. The need for a consolidated study, considering all key aspects of virtual healthcare, is crucial. We aim to examine the existing literature to study stakeholders of online healthcare and their behaviour dynamics, available functionalities and service delivery approaches during different phases. We have identified five key stakeholders who are vital for online healthcare deliveries and explored their contributions across life-cycle stages of online healthcare community (OHC) in India. The PRISMA reporting approach was used to select suitable literature for this study. About 78 articles were identified, which were shortlisted to 67 articles, keeping in mind the objectives of this study. Key findings from all these articles are segregated according to identified themes and systematically presented to enlarge the visibilities of associated functionalities. This study is one of the initial studies on India’s OHC that has defined associated stakeholders, functionalities and association dynamics during different life-cycle phases. People are proactively emerging towards OHC to acquire knowledge, share experience and decide their healthcare drives. Being operated virtually, information technology (IT) is the driving factor of OHC, and we have addressed the diversified IT aspects applicable in an OHC set-up. We also have accumulated all key attributes of OHC and produced a theoretical framework through this study, which academic researchers can use to understand the present approaches better and derive futuristic studies. Similarly, service providers can use the findings to evaluate their services, identify the present loopholes in the operational approaches and effectively manage the deliverables to meet end-user needs.

“…First, process standards used in performance management should be valid, in that they must either be self-evident measures of quality or be evidencebased (Lilford et al 2007). Second, in addition to the validity of the measures, the process standards must also be beneficial to healthcare, since the opportunity cost of improving some processes may exceed the contingent gains (Demirezen et al 2016, Hayward 2007.…”

This study explores whether and how lower variations in clinical practice relate to hospital operational performance. This relation is critical to the overall search for pathways that will allow the healthcare industry to bend the cost curve, implying significant implications for practice and regulators. We define practice variation as all variation not resulting from patient mix and construct a novel measure using inpatient discharge data for each patient cohort having an identical medical condition. Hospitals in our dataset show a broad practice variation spectrum. Using statistical process control (SPC) as a theoretical lens, we hypothesize the negative impacts of practice variation on operational performance. We also consider intervening impacts of hospital quality evaluations on the relationship. Analyzing data of six years from hospitals in NY and FL states using a dynamic panel system Generalized Method of Moments estimator, we find that higher practice variation relates to longer average patient length‐of‐stay and higher total cost per capita. This phenomenon is even stronger when a hospital provides services with higher quality in patient experience because such a hospital tends to provide more responsive care to patients, which is often resource‐intensive. By delving into granular dimensions of practice variation based on detailed charge data, we find that higher care‐delivery practice variation (i.e., the provision of healthcare) is directly associated with poor operational performance. We also find that pursuing higher quality measures may be harmful to some hospital operational performance measures as they have combined effects with the test‐ordering practice variation (i.e., detecting disease and monitoring its status). Taken together, these findings imply that careful attention to the two dimensions of practice variation and the nuanced joint relationship with quality measures may address the trade‐off between high quality and low cost, and provide room for improvement in practice, ultimately reducing waste in the healthcare industry. Our measure of practice variation also contributes since it enables researchers and managers to rigorously measure and visualize the status of hospitals’ practice variation linked to hospital operational performance.
