Abstract
BACKGROUND: To increase productivity, management in healthcare organisations have introduced different types of process-oriented organisational configurations. Few studies have addressed clinical practice and information management in these settings. METHODS: A case study was performed at a paediatric clinic. Data was collected from archives, through interviews, by participatory observation, and by performing a focus group session. The collected data was analysed using a qualitative and interpretative research strategy. RESULTS: A model was developed of care practitioners' daily work in process-oriented organisations. The model shows that clinical work was deeply integrated; the care activities were dependent on supply activities and tightly connected to management routines. CONCLUSION: The resulting model can be used to support development of health information system (HIS) embedded in process-oriented healthcare work.
