Information sharing in interdisciplinary teams is a complex and multifaceted process. Specific interventions need to be improved such as formalizing modes of communication, better organizing knowledge-sharing activities, and improving the active use of allied health professionals. Despite movement toward team-based models, senior physicians are often gatekeepers of uptake of new evidence and changes in practice.

“…While we have not employed them in this paper, the creation of network diagrams making visible connections between people, organisations, places (material and virtual) and texts has been another of our methods. Unlike with classic social network analysis, where the data is usually generated through surveys and analysed quantitatively (Vera and Schupp 2006), these diagrams do not purport to represent measurable relations (such as the density of ties). ANT gives rise not to a systematic, but to a rhizomatic methodology (Leander, Phillips, and Taylor 2010) where the aim is to follow texts and practices from one site to another.…”

“…Interaction Analysis Given the viewpoint of online learning being a social network relation, social network analysis (SNA) is a useful tool to study the patterns of interaction between the members of this network (Laat et al, 2007). In fact, in recent times, SNA has become a popular tool when analyzing the patterns of interaction among the members of online learning communities (Vera et al, 2006). As pointed out by Laart, in SNA, the unit of analysis shift from the individual to the relationships they make.…”

Health Information Systems (HIS) training have been recognized as one of the important aspects of any HIS implementation which contributes to its success or failure. Providing high quality training in low resource settings have been a challenge for many HIS initiatives including for the Health Information Systems Program (HISP) with regard to its DHIS 2 implementations. In order to tackle these challenges, it was decided to introduce online distance training as a supplement to its face-to-face training academies. However, the interactions generated within the online training and the perceived knowledge construction was variable in different training instances. Therefore, the study made use of social network analysis (SNA) and content analysis (CA) as tools to understand the type of interactions that took place within such learning instances and the degree of knowledge constructions that was achieved through such interactions. This enabled the study to assess the best practices when utilizing online distance learning for providing HIS training in low resource settings particularly with regard to 'short' online training programs. The findings from the study supports the successful utilization of short online learning programs for the said purpose with adaptation of 'best practices' to enable participant interactions and knowledge construction.
