Healthcare organizations (HCO) adopt emerging technology solutions such as Healthcare Analytics (HA) to improve the quality and efficiency of their operations, patient care, and clinical decisions. While their intent is to adopt HA, many of them are unsure of their organizational readiness for that adoption. There is a paucity of research on HA pre-adoption readiness assessment techniques and tools, which can be leveraged by hospitals, to make well-informed decisions. In this paper, we fill this gap, by proposing a prototype design of an instrument based on the design science approach. We base the constructs used in our artifact on our findings from the multi-case study analysis of three hospitals, which we also discuss briefly. The key contribution of this research is the process that we followed in integrating the case study approach with DSRM in the area of HA adoption. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.
