High velocity work environments such as medical trauma centers depend on robust and efficient coordination by team members to bring together appropriate knowledge and skills, or expertise. This project investigates the existing and potential role of information technology (IT) in expertise coordination in a type of high velocity, high outcome work environment: level-I trauma centers in this country. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods are used to collect observational and survey data in a range of trauma centers regarding the expertise needs of trauma medical teams, the points of expertise needs, the modes of acquiring needed expertise, the sources of information related to work and expertise coordination, and uses of IT for the coordination of needed expertise, as well as broader organizational variables. The project will contribute to the development of guiding principles in the design of next generation IT for high velocity work environments in the areas of user interfaces, coordination modes, and the evaluation of IT on coordination. It will contribute to the understanding of expertise coordination and how IT affects these processes. Finally, the project will enhance an existing multi-disciplinary research program on information and coordination, particularly as it relates to issues in emergency trauma care.

医疗创伤中心等高速工作环境依赖于团队成员强大而有效的协调，以汇集适当的知识和技能或专业知识。本项目调查信息技术（IT）在一种高速，高产出的工作环境中的专业知识协调的现有和潜在作用：在这个国家的一级创伤中心。 定性和定量相结合的方法被用来收集观察和调查数据，在一系列的创伤中心的创伤医疗队的专业知识需求，专业知识的需求点，获取所需的专业知识的模式，与工作和专业知识的协调相关的信息来源，以及使用IT所需的专业知识的协调，以及更广泛的组织变量。该项目将有助于在用户界面、协调模式和协调信息技术评估等领域为高速工作环境制定下一代信息技术设计的指导原则。它将有助于了解专门知识的协调以及信息技术如何影响这些进程。 最后，该项目将加强现有的信息和协调的多学科研究计划，特别是因为它涉及到紧急创伤护理的问题。
