Abstract
This chapter reports on research investigating the benefits and barriers of e-Enabling Technologies such as e-Sourcing and e-Purchasing in the healthcare sector. The research is based on a case study conducted at the KAT General Hospital (KGH) in Athens, Greece, and examines aspects regarding the implementation of specific e-Sourcing and e- Purchasing tools, such as e-RFx and e-Auctions, focusing on the resulting benefits and the existing barriers of adoption. Findings suggest that although quantifiable benefits were identified, e-Sourcing and e- Purchasing are still at an early stage of maturity in the Greek Healthcare Sector. The chapter entails a literature review, a description of the research methodology used, the findings based on the case study and the final conclusions.
