Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

4.7K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Area of Science:

  • Socio-technical systems
  • Information systems research
  • Sustainability science

Background:

  • Promoting sustainable practices requires understanding behavioral change drivers.
  • Existing research often overlooks the interplay between technology and human actors in sustainability initiatives.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is needed to analyze complex socio-technical change processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how Information Technology (IT) can facilitate behavioral change towards sustainability.
  • To introduce and apply the Commonality Framework for IT-enabled Change.
  • To analyze the socio-technical dynamics influencing sustainable transport and procurement behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Case study research design in Uppsala, Sweden.
  • Utilized surveys, interviews, observations, and archival documents for empirical data.
  • Applied practice theory and a socio-technical perspective.

Main Results:

  • Sustainable behavioral change is an intricate entanglement of social and technical-structural factors over time.
  • Information Technology (IT) systems act as crucial enablers for sustainable practices.
  • Actor engagement and social activities are pivotal determinants of success in achieving sustainable behavior shifts.

Conclusions:

  • A balanced perspective on actor-structure interactions is essential for analyzing sustainability change.
  • The Commonality Framework offers a novel method for studying technology in context, centering both human actors and technology.
  • Effective IT-enabled sustainability requires a holistic approach addressing both technological infrastructure and social dynamics.
