Abstract
Healthcare alliance networks have developed rapidly in the US. Yet, research has not kept pace. This study examines two interrelated healthcare research needs—the value of information technology (IT) and the complementarity of IT with process and decision-making (PDM) integration. Hypotheses relate (i) IT integration, (ii) PDM integration, and (iii) alliance network integration (complementarity of i and ii) to performance. The mixed results lend support to the complementarity of IT with PDM integration and call for a more holistic perspective of healthcare alliance network.
