Abstract

Although healthcare delivery is increasingly being provided by collaborative teams there are few health informatics applications that are designed to support team based healthcare delivery. Before we can design health information systems to support teams we need a detailed understanding of the process and information requirements of teams. We must also consider the unique contexts of each healthcare setting. This paper presents a typology for HIS design to support collaborative healthcare teams. The typology provides considerations for processes, information, and contextual factors related to HIS design. The typology is a starting point for requirements engineering to support the design of HIS applications to support collaborative care delivery.
