- Abstract:
-
We present a case study of a project to introduce a new organisation-wide information system in the healthcare domain. We report in detail on the problems of working with and evolving a classification of work procedures that is central to the organisational purpose of the new system and the responses of users and of the project team to these problems. These have important implications for the usability and thus dependability of computer-based systems and the information they contain. Drawing insights from sociological studies of classification and standardisation we reflect upon the implications for the development and implementation of more dependable computer-based systems.
