This topical collection examines how digital transformation and service shape contemporary information systems, particularly focusing on value creation across organizational boundaries through digital technologies, platforms, and ecosystems. The collection seeks theoretically grounded research that goes beyond broad claims about digital transformation to instead examine how IT artifacts are designed and applied to enable value co-creation in service contexts.

The collection prioritizes submissions that explicitly analyze IT artifacts rather than treating them as black boxes, showing how these artifacts shape and are shaped by organizational digital transformation. Research should be grounded in IS literature and address relevant gaps for both theory and practice, with particular interest in inter-organizational and platform-based service scenarios relevant to Electronic Markets.

Digital health ecosystems involve diverse stakeholders—providers, patients, and laypersons—interacting to shape care delivery. While information systems research has advanced in understanding the technological foundations, significant research gaps remain regarding how value is created and distributed in these settings. The special issue seeks papers addressing two core trajectories: understanding diverse forms of value that digital technologies create in healthcare ecosystems, and examining how value should be distributed among participants over time.

The journal welcomes both cumulative research advancing understanding of value creation and distribution, and contrarian studies challenging prevailing assumptions. Research often assumes large data volumes will generate substantial benefits, yet in practice clinicians frequently lack data in the required format, quality, or volume. Submissions should offer fresh perspectives on creating and distributing value in digital health ecosystems, informed by both information systems and adjacent disciplines.
