Abstract:
Although greater emphasis is being placed on public health information transfer, little is known about its implementation in the field. To better understand the information needs of the public health workforce, semi-structured interviews were conducted at a country public health department. Preliminary investigation revealed the underutilization of available scheduling software in this setting. Privacy concerns and idiosyncratic scheduling patterns may have interfered with the adoption of commercially available scheduling software.
