Social information systems (SISs) will play a key role in healthcare systems' transformation into collaborative patient-centered systems that support care delivery across the entire continuum of care. SISs enable the development of collaborative networks andfacilitate relationships to integrate people and processes across time and space. However, we believe that a "connectivity" issue, which refers to the scope and extent of system requirements for a SIS, is a significant challenge of SIS design. This paper's contribution is the development of the Social Information System Connectivity Framework for supporting SIS design in healthcare. The framework has three parts. First, it defines the structure of a SIS as a set of social triads. Second, it identifies six dimensions that represent the behaviour of a SIS. Third, it proposes the Social Information System Connectivity Factor as our approximation of the extent of connectivity and degree of complexity in a SIS.
社会信息系统(SISs)将在医疗系统转变为以患者为中心的协作系统中发挥关键作用,该协作系统支持在整个护理连续过程中提供护理。SISs能够发展协作网络,并促进人际关系,以便整合跨越时间和空间的人员与流程。然而,我们认为,一个“连接性”问题,即指SIS的系统要求的范围和程度,是SIS设计的一项重大挑战。本文的贡献在于开发了社会信息系统连接框架,以支持医疗保健领域的SIS设计。该框架有三个部分。首先,它将SIS的结构定义为一组社会三元组。其次,它确定了代表SIS行为的六个维度。第三,它提出了社会信息系统连接因子,作为我们对SIS中连接程度和复杂程度的近似值。
