“…In the 1990s, social workers' negativity towards adopting digital technology was referred to as "computer phobia," and a key concern of managers and designers was finding ways to get social workers to use computers (Neugeboren, 1996). Nowadays, as laptops, tablets, and smartphones become more ubiquitous in everyday life (Gillingham, 2014a), users are more adept at discussing digital technology. Certainly, designers and vendors, when challenged by participants, may defend themselves with technical language beyond the knowledge base of most social workers.…”

“…It is in this context that the gathering, recording, collecting and sharing of information have come to dominate social work activities (Hall et al, 2010;Keymolen & Broeders, 2013;Parton, 2006Parton, , 2009. As a result, governments worldwide have rolled out a great diversity of so-called Electronic Information Systems (EISs), such as tools for digital recording, assessment, decision-making and electronic information sharing (Gillingham, 2013(Gillingham, , 2014.…”

“…Tietojärjestelmien sekä niiden avulla kerättävän datan odotetaan toimivan tulevaisuudessa entistä paremmin alan ammattilaisten, johdon ja palveluiden kehittämisen tukena [2][3][4]. Aiempi tutkimus on osoittanut, ettei sosiaalialan tietojärjestelmien suunnittelussa ole huomioitu riittävästi loppukäyttäjiä ja heidän tarpeitaan [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Pahimmillaan tietojärjestelmien on koettu olevan jopa ristiriidassa käytännön työstä nousevien tarpeiden kanssa [10][11][12][13].…”

“…Tietojärjestelmien onnistunut kehittäminen toimintaympäristöönsä soveltuvaksi vaatiikin sekä johtotason että käytännön työntekijöiden mukanaoloa [6,14]. Erityisesti kokeneiden sosiaalialan ammattilaisten osallistuminen kehittämistyöhön on tärkeää [7]. Kehittämistyön lähtökohtana tulee olla vahva ymmärrys käyttäjien tarpeista, tehtävistä sekä toimintaympäristöstä.…”
