Abstract
This paper discusses findings from a study of healthcare stakeholders’ perceptions of the enablers and barriers of core-periphery systems and solutions in the digital platform of a Private Tertiary Health Service (PTHS). Using critical realism as a lens, the study involved an embedded case study of three departments in PTHS. The findings show that the platformisation of digital health infrastructure enhanced generativity, including innovation, adoption, and scaling. Further, the research identified platform governance as the area that requires enhancements. This research adds to the limited literature on digital health platform ecosystems by revealing healthcare stakeholders’ perceptions. Our findings can inform strategy for health organisations seeking platformisation of their digital infrastructures. Further, state and national digital healthcare policymakers can use this research to address digital health platform ecosystems challenges, especially in the private sector.
