Abstract

This paper is about electronic services in healthcare. I begin by providing a virtual organisation model that contains four variables: connectivity, purpose, technology and boundary. Based on the model, some predictions for the stability of virtual organisations can be done. The theoretical part is followed by a real-life example of a virtual hospital. The focus is on finding and naming the four variables of the virtual hospital. Furthermore, the barriers and benefits of development of the virtual hospital are discussed.
