Abstract
This thesis asks: “How can health information platforms handle heterogeneity by distributing flexibility among multiple actors?” and uses material from both developing countries and a developed nation to answer this question. It follows the health management information system DHIS2 through a platformization process, from a single application addressing very specific needs to a platform that is open to external innovation, outside of control of the core software developers. Additionally, this thesis considers three cases of application integration with electronic health registers (EHR) in Norway, where the EHR takes on the role of a health information platform.List of papers
