Moving patients around: a field study of coordination between clinical and non-clinical staff in hospitals
Proceedings of the 2008 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work, 2008•dl.acm.org
Effective coordination is central to work in organizations. We conducted a field study

transfer process of a major academic hospital. We present one major challenge: lack of
information sharing between these staff members and discuss the reasons for and
consequences of this challenge to the work in the hospital.
