    A Maturity Model for Assessing the Digitalization of Public Health Agencies
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 65, No. 5, 2023) Doctor, Eileen; Eymann, Torsten; Fürstenau, Daniel; Gersch, Martin; Hall, Kristina; Kauffmann, Anna Lina; Schulte-Althoff, Matthias; Schlieter, Hannes; Stark, Jeannette; Wyrtki, Katrin
    Requests for a coordinated response during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the limitations of locally-operating public health agencies (PHAs) and have resulted in a growing interest in their digitalization. However, digitalizing PHAs – i.e., transforming them technically and organizationally – toward the needs of both employees and citizens is challenging, especially in federally-managed local government settings. This paper reports on a project that develops and evaluates a continuous (vs. a staged) maturity model, the PHAMM, for digitalizing PHAs as a cornerstone of a digitally resilient public health system in the future. The model supports a coordinated approach to formulating a vision and structuring the steps toward it, engaging employees along the transformation journey necessary for a federally-managed field. Further, it is now being used to allocate substantial national funds to foster digitalization. By developing the model in a coordinated approach and using it for distributing federal resources, this work expands the potential usage cases for maturity models. The authors conclude with lessons learned and discuss how the model can incentivize local digitalization in federal fields.

    Das Ende der WBTs? Kernaussagenansatz, Personenmarken und Bartermodelle als konzeptionelle Antworten auf zentrale Herausforderungen
    (DeLFI 2009 - 7. Tagung der Fachgruppe E-Learning der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., 2009) Gabriel, Roland; Gersch, Martin; Weber, Peter; Le, Son
    Web-based Trainings (WBTs) sind im Zuge der "E-Learning- Ernüchterung" zum Teil stark in die Kritik geraten. Andererseits stellen sie nach wie vor ein wichtiges Instrument zur Realisierung der erheblichen E-Learning- Potenziale dar, insbesondere wenn qualitativ hochwertige Lernmaterialien erwartet werden. Eine erfolgreiche Gestaltung, Produktion und Verwendung von WBTs ist jedoch mit zahlreichen Herausforderungen verbunden, von denen sich die nachfolgend adressierten Punkte den Kategorien Qualität/Unsicherheit, Flexibilität und Fixkostenintensität/'First Copy Costs' zuordnen lassen. Mit dem sog. Kernaussagenansatz sowie Vorschlägen zur Integration von Personenmarken und zum Aufbau einer Barterplattform werden im vorliegenden Beitrag drei konzeptionelle Ansätze thematisiert, die diese zentralen Herausforderungen unmittelbar aufnehmen.

    Interoperability – Technical or economic challenge?
    (it - Information Technology: Vol. 61, No. 5-6, 2019) Stegemann, Lars; Gersch, Martin
    Interoperability in healthcare is a long-standing and addressed phenomenon. In the literature, it is discussed as both the cause of an insufficiently perceived digitalization and in context with an inadequate IT-based integration in healthcare. In particular, technical and organizational aspects are highlighted from the perspective of the different involved actors to achieve sufficient interoperability. Depending on the individual case, various established international industry standards in healthcare (e. g. DICOM, HL7 or FHIR) promise simple adaptation and various application advantages. In addition to the technical view, this article assumes economic challenges as the main causes for the lack of interoperability not discussed in the forefront. The economic challenges were mentioned and sparingly discussed in few cases in the literature. This article aims to fill this gap by offering a first characterization of identified and discussed economic challenges in the literature with respect to the lack of interoperability in healthcare. Based on a systematic literature search, 14 of the original 330 articles can be identified as relevant, allowing a more economic perspective on interoperability. In this context, different economic effects will be described; this includes cost-benefit decisions by individual stakeholders under different kinds of uncertainty or balancing of known individual costs for interoperability against uncertain and skewed distributed benefits within an ecosystem. Furthermore, more sophisticated cost-benefit approaches regarding interoperability challenges can be identified, including cost-benefit ratios that shift over time, or lock-in effects resulting from CRM-motivated measures that turn (non)interoperability decisions into cost considerations for single actors. Also, self-reinforcing effects through path dependencies, including direct and indirect network effects, have an impact on single and linked interoperability decisions.

    Talking Past Each Other
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 59, No. 1, 2017) Wessel, Lauri; Gersch, Martin; Harloff, Erik
    An explorative case study is used to investigate the formation of information pathologies on the societal level. The paper conceptualizes these particular information pathologies as ‘interaction-related information pathologies’ (Picot et al., Information, organization and management. Springer, Berlin, 2008) and proposes that the production of information by multiple stakeholders leads to ‘distortions’ (Cukier et al., Inf Syst J 19(2):175–196, 2009) on the societal level. This broad proposition is then explored by means of a qualitative case study of the media coverage surrounding the implementation of the ‘Electronic Health Card’ in Germany. Based on that study, the initial proposition is further specified by conceptualizing how a process of path constitution ‘distorts’ a debate from being about legitimacy of an ICT innovation to being about illegitimacy of stakeholders.
