Application portfolio management concerns the management of all technology and applications, and is a complex task under pressure of increasing collaboration among hospitals. Various approaches to application portfolio management are described in existing literature, but are directed at commercial enterprises rather than health care organizations. Addressing this deficiency, this article presents the results of three case studies conducted at Dutch hospitals surveying current application portfolio management processes. Results show differences between the three hospitals. One hospital implemented a continuous application portfolio management process. The other hospitals perform ad-hoc IT management due to, among others, lacking support from management, decentralized IT governance structures and an increasing need for technical integration. This article can assist IT executives in making better informed decisions, while it provides a step towards a better understanding of the complex application portfolio management process in hospitals for academia.

Method Engineering (ME) is a discipline which aims to bring effective solutions to the construction, improvement and modification of the methods used to develop Information Systems (IS). Situational Method Engineering (SME) promotes the idea of retrieving, adapting and tailoring components, rather than complete methodologies, to the specific context. Existing SME approaches use the notion of context for characterizing situations of IS development projects and for guiding the method components selection from a repository. However, in the reviewed literature, there is no proposed approach to specify the specific context of method components. This paper provides a detailed vision of context and a process for contextualizing methods in the IS domain. This proposal is illustrated with three case studies: scenario conceptualization, project portfolio management, and decision-making.

Project portfolio management involves multiple projects, of which risk regulation is different from the risk regulation of single projects especially in information technology application. In addition to considering each project's own risk, it must consider risk of project portfolio from a broader perspective. Issues of risk regulation are more complex, therefore its risk regulation requires new management approaches. This paper draws on Hall's three-dimensional management structure, respectively, from the four aspects: project portfolio management process, project portfolio risk regulation process, project portfolio risk regulation approach and project portfolio risk regulation organization, to establish a project portfolio risk regulation four-dimensional system (tlkc system) by applied-information technology. It provides a theoretical guidance for current risk regulation of project portfolio management, contributes project-oriented enterprises to establish suitable project portfolio risk regulation measures with their own circumstances, which is a necessary complement for project portfolio theory.
