| Abstract: | Purpose – An effective asset management system (AMS) is essential for healthcare organizations looking to
maximize value and performance while minimizing risk and cost. This study aims to identify and evaluate the
barriers to AMS adoption and evaluate them from a healthcare perspective.
Design/methodology/approach – The study is based on a combination of the Delphi method and the analytic
hierarchy process (AHP) with 30 participants from various Slovenian healthcare organizations. Through
iterative consensus and prioritization, the Delphi-AHP process resulted in 23 validated barriers, ranked
according to their perceived importance for AMS implementation.
Findings – The resultsidentified key barriersto implementing AMS in healthcare organizations and categorized
them into five dimensions: strategic, human resources, contextual, structural and procedural. The highest ranked barriers were deficient leadership, a shortage of qualified personnel and workforce overload. This
indicates that strategic alignment and organizational capacity are perceived as the most critical obstacles to
adopting AMS.
Originality/value – Thisstudy advancesthe existing literature by addressing a critical gap and providing deeper
insight into the factors that impede the successful implementation of AMS in healthcare settings, a domain
where empirical evidence remains limited. |
