The main purpose of this study is to develop an innovation model for hospital organisations. For this purpose, this study explores and examines the determinants, capabilities and performance in the hospital sector. First, this discusses three categories of determinants that affect hospitals' innovative capability studies: (1) knowledge stock; (2) social ties; and (3) institutional pressures. Then, this study examines the idea of innovative hospital capabilities, defined as the ability of the hospital organisation to innovate their knowledge. Finally, the hospital evaluation rating, which identifies performance in the hospital sector, was examined. This study empirically tested the theoretical model at the organisation level. The findings suggest that a hospital's innovative capabilities are influenced by its knowledge stock, social ties, institutional pressures and the impact of hospital performance. However, in attempts to keep hospitals aligned with their highly institutionalised environments, it may prove necessary for hospital administrators to pay more attention to both existing knowledge stock and the process of innovation if the institutions are to survive. Finally, implications for theory and practitioners complete this study.
本研究的主要目的是为医院组织开发一种创新模式。为此，本研究探讨并考察了医院部门的决定因素、能力和绩效。首先，本文讨论了影响医院创新能力研究的三类决定因素：（1）知识存量；（2）社会关系；（3）制度压力。然后，本研究考察了创新型医院能力的概念，即医院组织创新其知识的能力。最后，对确定医院部门绩效的医院评估评级进行了考察。本研究在组织层面实证检验了该理论模型。研究结果表明，医院的创新能力受到其知识存量、社会关系、制度压力以及医院绩效影响的制约。然而，为使医院与其高度制度化的环境保持一致，医院管理者可能有必要更加关注现有知识存量和创新过程，以便机构能够存续。最后，本研究还阐述了对理论和从业者的启示。
