The implementation process of a diabetes EPR

Published: 20 August 2005 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we outline and describe the development and implementation process of a Diabetes Electronic Patient Record system (DR). We describe and analyze the process using understandings and concepts from Science, Technology and Society studies (STS). We attribute the status of the current system to various associations and translations, where the project group members become engaged and interested in the process of developing DR in profound ways, an interest that may lack or is difficult to establish in large system development projects.
