Abstract :
Introduction: In an era defined by technological advances and the need to improve healthcare services, the effective management of healthcare research and development project portfolios is of great importance. This study aims to provide a model for managing the portfolio of healthcare research and development projects from the perspective of information technology. Research Method: This study is applied in terms of purpose and was conducted in three stages. In the first step, general indicators affecting the portfolio management of healthcare research and development projects based on information technology were identified through a library survey. In the next step, using the Delphi method, effective dimensions, components, and basic indicators were extracted. Finally, in order to validate the model, the opinions of experts from research and development units in the field of healthcare services were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using the structural equation modeling method. Findings: The final research model was obtained at both the micro and macro levels, consisting of 15 components and 70 indicators. At the micro level, financial and intellectual capital management, technology and research and development management, strategic planning, and quality management emerged as critical factors. At the macro level, political, cultural, economic, legal, institutional, information technology, health information technology, and healthcare services have pivotal roles. Conclusion: Among the identified dimensions, technology management, financial management, intellectual capital management, and strategic management were the most important, respectively.
