Abstract
Data ecosystems are seen as a promising approach to the persistent challenges of interoperability and underutilization of health data. To leverage data ecosystems for inter-organizational data management in healthcare, a solid understanding of how these ecosystems can create, deliver, and capture value is necessary. As current academic literature has not been engaged in such holistic discussions from a business model perspective, a comprehensive study was performed to outline the solution space for data ecosystems in healthcare. A taxonomy development methodology was employed, synthesizing theoretical and empirical evidence from the analysis of existing taxonomies, a literature review, a workshop, and expert interviews. The results highlight the interplay between digital health offerings and the technical infrastructure of the sector. Presented as a morphological box, the taxonomy provides researchers with a tool to navigate this emerging field to effectively design data-driven solutions and practitioners with actionable guidance for implementing viable data ecosystems.
