Abstract (EN): As a preventive mode of care is rising in the healthcare industry, new networks of health organizations are also emerging. Technology has the potential to play a major role in enabling these networks and their activities. We propose a conceptual framework to analyze implementations of technological innovations in interorganizational networks, integrating context, technology and network factors, with interorganizational learning, and management practices and implementation strategies. A preliminary pilot case study supports a significant part of the framework, and suggests the relevance of management practices and implementation strategies for successful implementations.
