摘要

医疗企业家(HCEs)制定并实施改善流程、结构和实践的解决方案。不幸的是,由于其行业的不可预测性、非线性和规避风险的特点,他们也在具有多层次不确定性的环境中工作。此外,创业的不确定性在医疗保健领域也未得到充分探索。本实证研究探讨了医疗保健企业在整个创业过程中的不确定性管理过程。我们对美国 19 个州 9 个行业的 25 家营利性和社会性 HCE 进行了深入访谈。我们采用混合定性方法对数据进行分析、解释和可视化,包括恒定比较分析和词汇分析。访谈数据显示,高等教育机构经历了五大不确定性,并利用不同的策略来管理这些不确定性。研究结果凸显了外部环境条件对高校毕业生不确定性的影响、高校毕业生不确定性的复杂性和相互关联性、他们利用多种策略应对不确定性的意愿,以及沟通在管理过程中的核心作用。我们提出了切实可行的建议,以改进针对有抱负、新手和经验丰富的人力资源管理人员的教育、培训和职业发展计划。

NAVIGATING THE UNKNOWN: HOW HEALTHCARE ENTREPRENEURS MANAGE UNCERTAINTY
Healthcare entrepreneurs (HCEs) develop and implement solutions to improve processes, structures, and practices. Unfortunately, they also operate in environments with multiple levels of uncertainty because of their industry’s unpredictable, nonlinear, and risk-averse features. Moreover, entrepreneurial uncertainty has been underexplored in the healthcare context. This empirical study examines HCEs’ uncertainty management processes throughout the entrepreneurial process. In-depth interviews were conducted with 25 for-profit and social HCEs across nine sectors in nineteen different states within the United States. We used a mixed methods qualitative approach to analyze, interpret and visualize data, including constant comparative and lexical analyses. Interview data reveals HCEs experience five major uncertainties and utilize distinct strategies to manage those uncertainties. Findings highlight the effect of external environmental conditions on HCEs’ uncertainty, the complexity and interconnectedness of HCEs’ uncertainties, their willingness to utilize a wide repertoire of strategies to cope with uncertainty, and communication’s central role in the management process. We provide practical advice to improve educational, training and professional development initiatives for aspiring, novice and experienced HCEs.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
