Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The emphasis in this study is on understanding the everyday, practical accomplishment of'information giving' work in the NHS particularly as it relates to the use of information and communication technologies by healthcare professionals and voluntary staff. The overall objective of the research is to uncover, through an ethnographic study of two systems in use, the nature, value and possible future development of the information systems currently being utilised. The intent is to produce high quality research information and thereby to develop strategies that seek to inform both organisational training and system development which can help to improve overall levels of effectiveness Our studies of work practice in information giving settingswill explore the embedded nature of such information systems, and can be used as an assessment tool for the information and communication needs of healthcare professionals, voluntary workers and patients in information giving services.
