摘要:Purpose: This article intends to present and discuss two promising business models for deploying IPS (international patient summary) standards in mobile health (mHealth) apps, enhancing the value brought by standards, in particular by HL7 (Health Level Seven International) of the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) for IPS. More specifically, it will explain how these standards may be understood as the strategic and financial incentives for organisations – and nations – to adopt the IPS. Approach: A thorough analysis of concepts will be followed by the presentation of a business canvas for mHealth applications, that aggregates basic information on a common framework for the adoption of IPS standards. Findings: To better understand this framework, two illustrative use cases (Disaster management and MOCHA - Models of Child Health Appraised/Vaccination) are presented and the benefits of IPS standard adoption in these situations are specifically highlighted as they may translate better quality care and well-being and, at the same time, represent reduction of costs on health-related expenditure. Originality: This article is a summary of work developed specifically as part of the Trillium II project, primarily by collaboration by the organisations represented by the authors. Logically, it uses concepts previously developed, and referenced in the text as appropriate, however the authors maintain that the business models presented represent an original synthesis of these concepts specifically appropriate to the task of encouraging widespread adoption of the HL7 FHIR IPS.
其他摘要:Purpose: We discuss traditional assumptions about value creation and confront these with current viewson sustainable value creation (SVC). Against this backdrop, the articles contained in the special issue‘Sustainable Value Creation Through Business Models’ are introduced, and their contributions to the explorationof SVC are highlighted.*Methodology: Assumptions about value creation are summarised and turned into an initial theoreticalframework concerning the what, who and how of value creation. This framework is used to structure anddiscuss current views on SVC that have been presented in the sustainable business model (SBM) litterature.Findings: The proposed framework identifies cornerstones for theorising about SVC in regard to thewhat, who and how of value creation. A main finding is that, although value creation and SVC are widelydiscussed in the literature, there are huge gaps in terms of the who, what and how of value creation, particularlyin the SBM field.Research implications and limitations: The major implication is that the SBM discourse still lacks clearSVC concepts, and closing this gap may enable the creation of a new multi- and interdisciplinary researchprogramme. A major limitation of this paper is the mainly theoretical and preliminary nature of the presenteddiscussion and framework.Originality and value: There is a surprising dearth of definitions and concepts of value creation in boththe traditional business model and SBM research. The originality and value of this paper lie in its potentialto stimulate further research on the theoretical foundations of SVC. Various theoretical propositionsare developed, including notions such as stakeholder-responsive and relational interpretations of valuecreation.
