“…Further, it takes a "classic" stance on a business context for IS research, with typical examples for each of the four artifact types. It does not account for the broad range of artifacts in modern IS research, for instance, from the domains of healthcare IT (Kenneally, Curley, Wilson, & Porter, 2013) or smart cities (Maccani, Donnellan, & Helfert, 2014). For each of these domains, different audiences with different informing requirements as well as different forms and manifestations of social and technical components of the respective socio-technical artifacts may become relevant.…”

This paper identifies areas in the design science research (DSR) subfield of the information systems (IS) discipline where a more detailed consideration of practitioner audiences could improve IS DSR's informing power and proposes an initial audience conceptualization in an informing system. The consequences of not considering artifact audiences in greater detail are identified through a critical appraisal of the current informing science lenses in the IS DSR literature. The paper identifies four yet underdeveloped areas in the discourse: 1) treating practice stakeholders as a too homogeneous group, 2) not explicitly distinguishing between social and technical parts of socio-technical artifacts, 3) neglecting implications of the artifact abstraction level, and 4) a lack of explicit consideration of a dynamic or evolutionary fitness perspective of socio-technical artifacts. The findings pave the way for future research to further improve the conceptualization of artifact audiences, in order to improve the informing power -and thus, impact on practice and research relevance -of IS DSR projects. The findings can also serve as a first step to bridge the theory-practice gap in and, thus, improve the informing power of other disciplines (e.g., computer science, engineering, or policy-oriented sociology) that seek to produce social and/or technical human-created artifacts of practical relevance.

“…DSR is particularly useful in addressing ‘wicked problems’ that is problems which cannot be easily understood and solved without considering the development of a solution because of the involvement of the perspective of multiple stakeholders . DSR has been used previously in the development of ISO/IEC 15504‐2 compliant assessment models and in the development of a Healthcare IT maturity model .…”

Medical devices are increasingly designed for incorporation into a hospital's IT network allowing devices to exchange critical information. However, connecting devices in this way can introduce risks potentially negating the benefits to patients. While the IEC 80001-1 standard has been developed to aid Healthcare Delivery Organisations (HDOs) in addressing these risks, HDOs often struggle to understand and implement the requirements. The MedITNet framework has been developed to allow HDOs to assess the capability of their risk management processes against the requirements of IEC 80001-1. MedITNet provides a flexible assessment framework enabling HDOs to gain a understanding of the requirements of the standard and to improve risk management processes by determining their current state and highlighting areas for improvement. This paper examines the challenges faced by HDOs in the risk management of medical IT networks and explains the components of the MedITNet framework and how the framework addresses these challenges. The use of Action Design Research (ADR) in the development and validation of MedITNet are also discussed focusing on a pilot implementation of the assessment method and expert review of the overall framework. The changes to the framework and its components as a result of the validation process are also discussed.

The use of networked medical devices can provide a number of benefits such as improved patient safety, reduced costs of care and a reduction in adverse events. Traditionally, medical devices were placed onto a proprietary IT network provided by the manufacturer of the device. Today, medical devices are increasingly designed for incorporation into a hospital's general IT network enabling devices to exchange critical information. However, this can introduce risks and negate the potential benefits to patients. While the IEC 80001-1 standard has been developed to aid Healthcare Delivery Organisations (HDOs) in addressing these risks, HDOs may struggle to understand and implement the requirements. The MedITNet framework has been developed to allow HDOs to assess the capability of their risk management processes against the requirements of IEC 80001-1. MedITNet provides a flexible assessment framework enabling HDOs to gain a greater understanding of the requirements of the standard and to improve risk management processes by determining their current state and highlighting areas for improvement. This paper examines the challenges faced by HDOs in the risk management of medical IT networks and briefly explains the components of the MedITNet framework and how the framework addresses these challenges. This paper also details how Action Design Research (ADR) was used in the development and validation of MedITNet.
