 ity\n\nPerformance Shortfalls\, Policy Uncertainty\, and the Search for Di
 gital Advantage in U.S. Hospitals\n\nDate: Friday\, February 27\, 2026\n	Ti
 me: 10:30 am - 12:00 pm EDT\n	Location: Bronfman Building\, Room 410\n\nAll
  are cordially invited to attend.\n\n\nAbout:\n\nHospitals are increasingl
 y searching for health information technology (HIT) solutions in efforts t
 o achieve digital advantage\, which refers to the technological edge relat
 ive to competitors across a composite of technologies. However\, the curre
 nt understanding of the drivers behind hospitals’ digital advantage remain
 s limited. This is an important issue for managers given that digital adva
 ntage can create performance benefits for hospitals. In this study\, we ex
 amine how and when hospitals attain digital advantage. Drawing on problemi
 stic search and institutional theories\, we hypothesize that shortfalls in
  operational and reputational performance motivate technological search th
 at underpins hospitals’ digital advantage. Further\, we hypothesize that p
 olicy uncertainty has differential moderating effects on the two relations
 hips. We test our theory from a panel dataset of 2\,020 U.S. hospitals spa
 nning 2007 to 2017. We find that shortfalls in operational and reputationa
 l performance influence hospital digital advantage. However\, as policy un
 certainty increases\, the relationship between operational performance sho
 rtfall and digital advantage strengthens\, while the relationship between 
 reputational performance shortfall and digital advantage weakens. Our stud
 y contributes to research by explaining that operational and reputational 
 performance shortfalls have non-equivalent impacts on digital advantage an
 d identifying the policy uncertainty conditions under which their impacts 
 are stronger or weaker. Our work has implications to practice as it helps 
 decision makers understand hospitals’ search behaviors in the presence of 
 performance shortfalls and the role that policy uncertainty plays in their
  efforts to achieve a technological edge.\n
