Abstract
Healthcare is characterized by a highly complex environment where the process of patient care requires an unusual amount of communication between different healthcare professionals (HCPs). For a better patient care, the various HCPs have to cooperate, a processed often called shared care (Garde & Knaup, 2006; Schabetsberger, Ammenwerth, Andreatta, Gratl, Haux, & Lechleitner, 2006). Nowadays, there is an increasing incorporation of a heterogeneous set of Information Systems (ISs)—paper-based and computer-based—on the daily work of HCPs, in order to retrieve information about patients (Coiera, 2003; Van-Bemmel & Musen, 1997). The complexity of the patient care process combined with the heterogeneity of the information resources leads to a paradigm of data redundancy in the healthcare services in general, and hemophilia care in particular.
