Abstract: eHealth innovations promise to address the many challenges to the welfare system posed by demographic changes in the population, by connecting services from different organizations through collaborative online networks. Open innovation and co-creating with partners and healthcare users may boost such transformations, but there is has been a gap in literature on how Open innovation can be managed in a public sector healthcare setting; how it’s principles can help overcoming inertia, achieving functional fit and creating new values for healthcare users and benefits for the organization. Looking at literature on how network business models has been applied to healthcare, the authors elicit propositions for new eHealth solutions design, incorporation Open innovation principles.
