Organisational Capabilities for Customer Participation in Health Care Service Innovation
Abstract
Health care customers are demanding a more active role in the provision and development of health care services, a position supported by government health care policy in Australia. However, many health care organisations lack an understanding of the capabilities required to respond to this increased participation from customers. This study applies dynamic capability theory through a lens of co-creation to identify organisational capabilities that support customer participation in health care service innovations. A qualitative approach using convergent interviews with health care CEOs and senior managers was undertaken. As a result, four categories of organisational capabilities were identified: customer activation, organisational activation, interaction capabilities, and learning agility. Despite acknowledging the need for these capabilities, most health care organisations perceived they had not developed the required skills and resources. This study provides an insight into the organisational capabilities managers seek to improve their customer participation in health care service innovation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
