Article Synopsis
- Collaborative interorganizational networks are used in healthcare to handle complex issues like fragmentation and high costs, but high member involvement doesn't always lead to satisfaction regarding network goals.
- A study in a Dutch primary care network revealed that even engaged members can feel dissatisfied due to social comparisons and prioritizing their own organizational goals over network goals.
- Three pathways to low perceived goal attainment were identified: over-achieving, frontrunning, and freeriding, indicating that involvement alone isn't enough for satisfaction if members are focused on different objectives.
Background: Interorganizational networks in healthcare do not always attain their goals. Existing models outline the factors that could explain poor network performance: governance; structure; and the alignment of professional, organizational and network levels. However, these models are very generic and assume a functional approach.

Design: Cross-sectional self-administered electronic survey.
Setting: We surveyed the prices paid for 17 commonly used medical products, such as pacemakers, gloves and stents in 38 Dutch hospitals (including general, specialised and academic hospitals) in 2017.
Gender diversity is known to have a positive effect on innovation in developed countries. However, it is unclear whether the benefits of gender diversity for innovation also apply to the particular context of developing countries, which is characterized by diverse and lower levels of gender equality. We propose that gender diversity positively impacts innovation in the developing countries participating in our study.
