“…To move beyond information sharing, patient monitoring, behaviour modification, and peer influencing and harness the social network for actual emergency intervention we apply a flow model (Durugbo et al, 2013) to study community roles and participation, and identify supervisory control and health policy issues which influence the nature of participation.…”

“…The information system, which integrates patient, physician and EMS participation, advanced matching of prescription medication, and location-based social networking, is being initially focused on anaphylaxis with broad potential for other chronic conditions. The ERC system and anaphylaxis app design emerged by following a soft systems methodology (Checkland, 2000) of modelling workflow and information flow (Durugbo, Tiwari, & Alcock, 2013;Hibberd & Evatt, 2004;Unertl, Weinger, Johnson, & Lorenzi, 2009). To facilitate this process we engaged with a pool of 18 medical professionals across the fields of Emergency Medicine (8), Allergy and Clinical Immunology (4), Pharmacology (4) and Public Health (4).…”

We explore the challenges of participation by members of emergency response communities who share a similar condition and treatment, and are called upon to participate in emergency events experienced by fellow members. Smartphones and location-based social networking technologies present an opportunity to re-engineer certain aspects of emergency medical response. Life-saving prescription medication extended in an emergency by one individual to another occurs on a micro level, anecdotally documented. We illustrate the issues and our approach through the example of an app to support patients prone to anaphylaxis and prescribed to carry epinephrine auto-injectors. We address unique participation challenges in an mHealth environment in which interventions are primarily short-term interactions which require clear and precise decision-making and constant tracking of potential participants in responding to an emergency medical event. The conflicting effects of diffused responsibility and shared identity are identified as key factors in modelling participation.

“…Similarly, they are used in [1] and in [5]. Information flows, on the other hand, are used to find information needed for a process (information demand) and to organise work -similar to a workflow [8]. Thus, one can say that the information flow focuses on what to do and where to get resources, while the knowledge flow focuses on how to do it.…”

“…There have been some discussions in literature about differences between information and knowledge flows [6], [7], [8], [9]. Some researchers do not differentiate between both flow types [7], others do it, but a term "knowledge flow" can have different meanings, see, e.g., [4] and [7], [9].…”

“…Some researchers do not differentiate between both flow types [7], others do it, but a term "knowledge flow" can have different meanings, see, e.g., [4] and [7], [9]. The understanding of term "information flow" is clearer [8] as it is older than "knowledge flow". Most authors agree that there is a difference between two concepts and believe that it is mainly concerned with a created value [6], [9], [4].…”

Differentiating between Information and Knowledge Flows

Abstract. Well-established knowledge and information flows are one of the main organisation success factors. It is possible to address different organisational issues by analysing knowledge and information flows, so the difference between these two types of flows has to be stated. This paper proposes a way how to differentiate between information and knowledge flows conceptually, in an organisation, and in information systems.

Materiality in information environments: Objects, spaces, and bodies in three outpatient hemodialysis facilities

The materiality of information environments, and its role in information behavior, has received little attention. We present an ethnographic study involving 156 hours of observation and 28 patient interviews in outpatient hemodialysis facilities. Using an extended "Semiotic Framework for Information Systems Research," the findings show that objects, spaces, and bodies were integral to 6 sociomaterial layers of facility information environments: the physical, empiric, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and social world. Objects of importance in the information environments included dialysis machines, instruments, records, paper documents, televisions, furniture, thermostats, lighting, and personal possessions. Spatial features, including compartmentalization, displays, distance, proximity, and spatially-grounded routines, also constituted information environments. The information environments were also shaped by patient immobility, bodily discomforts, and orientation to bodily states. Each sociomaterial layer introduced enablers and constraints to information access, flow, and acceptance; these combined to construct patients primarily as passive recipients of information rather than active seekers and producers of information. A sociomaterial perspective and related focus on objects, spaces, and bodies offers a lens for professional information practice. We contribute information environment design guidance to facilitate such practice and stress that the value of certain sources and types of information can be materially encoded in an environment.
