“…In addition, ANT provides us with a mechanism for looking at integrations as a dynamic process of negotiation. This contrasts with the more traditional view on how a great deal of information is shared in an interorganizational healthcare context-apparently straightforward through standardized interfaces and messages (see, for instance, Grimson et al 2000;Xu et al 2000;KITH 2008). The ANT approach enables us to focus on how different sets of actors are involved in deciding how, where and when to integrate.…”

Abstract. In this paper, we contribute with empirical insight into the complexity of establishing and sustaining integration between different information infrastructures in health care. An overall concern is to elaborate on how, despite many obstacles, the integration effort moves forward. We see this as a collective achievement, where users have an essential role in terms of mobilizing and coordinating the other actors as well as maintaining the integration. These activities are not limited to a specific project; they emerge from and are part of day-to-day practice. Empirically, we focus on a large integration initiative between the laboratory systems at the University Hospital of Northern Norway and the electronic patient records used by general practitioners in the Northern health region. Together with the vendor, Well Diagnostics, the hospital initiated a project aimed at establishing a new laboratory requisition system that enabled GPs to send requisitions electronically to the hospital laboratories. Theoretically, we draw on the concept of information infrastructures, and supplement this with Actor Network Theory.

“…This information can be shared, in order to improve the efficiency of the healthcare system, and can be used to carry out research for the advancement of medical science (Hodge, 2003). However, it can also be used by other healthcare providers, such as clinics, laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry, health authorities, and insurances companies, which raises some issues about the protection of this strictly personal information (Grimson et al, 2000).…”

Healthcare organisations must improve their business practices and internal procedures in order to answer the increasing demand of health professionals and the general public for more and better information. Hospitals invest massively in information systems and technology (IS/IT) in the hope that these investments will improve healthcare and meet patients' demands. The main objective of our research is to study how organisational maturity, enhanced by investments in IS/IT, project management and best practices, leads to successful projects in public healthcare organisations. The rational of our model is that organisational maturity has a positive effect on IS/IT project success, and that this success is also positively enhanced by the use of project management practices. We emphasise that this combination of approaches can increase the effectiveness of projects. Furthermore, it can also improve the confidence that the results of investments will meet stakeholders' expectations.

“…Various experts have stressed the need for a global perspective. [14][15][16][17] Madge and Plutchak (2005) have already reviewed globalization in the area of health librarianship. 18 Hence, this issue will focus mainly on health informatics.…”
