CIOs' innovation capability is regarded as a precondition of successful HIT adoption in hospitals. Based on the data of 142 CIOs, this study aimed at identifying antecedents of perceived innovation capability. Eight features describing the status quo of the hospital IT management (e.g. use of IT governance frameworks), four features of the hospital structure (e.g. functional diversification) and four CIO characteristics (e.g. duration of employment) were tested as potential antecedents in an exploratory stepwise regression approach. Perceived innovation capability in its entirety and its three sub-dimensions served as criterion. The results show that CIOs' perceived innovation capability could be explained significantly (R=0.34) and exclusively by facts that described the degree of formalism and structure of IT management in a hospital, e.g. intensive and formalised strategic communication, the existence of an IT strategy and the use of IT governance frameworks. Breaking down innovation capability into its constituents revealed that "innovative organisational culture" contributed to a large extent (R=0.26) to the overall result sharing several predictors. In contrast, "intrapreneurial personality" (R=0.11) and "openness towards users" (R=0.18) could be predicted less well. These results hint at the relationship between working in a well-structured, formalised and strategy oriented environment and the overall feeling of being capable to promote IT innovation.
首席信息官的创新能力被视为医院成功采用医疗信息技术的前提条件。基于142位首席信息官的数据，本研究旨在确定感知创新能力的前因。在探索性逐步回归方法中，测试了描述医院信息技术管理现状的八个特征（如信息技术治理框架的使用）、医院结构的四个特征（如功能多样化）和首席信息官的四个特征（如任职时长）作为潜在前因。整体感知创新能力及其三个子维度作为标准。结果表明，首席信息官的感知创新能力可以被显著解释（R = 0.34），且完全由描述医院信息技术管理形式化和结构化程度的事实来解释，例如密集且形式化的战略沟通、信息技术战略的存在以及信息技术治理框架的使用。将创新能力分解为其组成部分后发现，“创新的组织文化”在很大程度上（R = 0.26）对总体结果有贡献，共享了几个预测因素。相比之下，“内部创业个性”（R = 0.11）和“对用户的开放性”（R = 0.18）的预测效果较差。这些结果暗示了在结构良好、形式化且以战略为导向的环境中工作与促进信息技术创新的总体能力感之间的关系。
