From benefits idealisation to value optimisation: application in the digital health context.

ConclusionThe current BM approach provides an inadequate basis for managing and reporting on the outcomes that ensue from a digital hospital initiative. A shift is needed from benefits idealisation to value optimisation.What is known about the topic?Health services are under increasing pressure to demonstrate that the benefits anticipated from digital health investments have been realised.What does this paper add?This paper informs the practice of benefits governance in EMR implementations. The results reveal inadequacies in current BM models and practice that are currently enshrined in policy despite a lack of evidence.What are the implications for practitioners?Health service leaders must be willing to question the governance of benefits from health service transformations using more evidence-based approaches to increase the value obtained from investments in digital transformation.
