Conceptual Modeling of the Internet of Things Implementation in Hospitals Supply Chain

Given the complexities of supply chain networks, the firms consider modern technologies as a potential factor to improve their supply chain performances. One of these technologies is the Internet of Things (IoT). Hence, the main purpose of this study has been to achieve the conceptual model of the IoT implementation in hospital supply chains. Considering the qualitative nature of the study, rel...

Is Traditional Conceptual Modeling Going to Become Obsolete?

Traditionally, the research and practice of conceptual modeling assumed relevant information about a domain is determined in advance to be used as input to design. The increasing ubiquity of systems – characterized by heterogeneous and transient users, customizable features, and open or extensible data standards – challenges a number of long-held propositions about conceptual modeling. We raise...

On Health Policy and Management (HPAM): Mind the Theory-Policy-Practice Gap

We argue that the field of Health Policy and Management (HPAM) ought to confront the gap between theory, policy, and practice. Although there are perennial efforts to reform healthcare systems, the conceptual barriers are considerable and reflect the theory-policy-practice gap. We highlight four dimensions of the gap: 1) the dominance of microeconomic thinking in health policy analysis and desi...
