Organizations operating in critical environments, such as hospitals and security agencies, have evolved into team-based, quasi-decentralized structures. Safety, efficiency, and quality performance in these organizations depend on the ability of the organization to support large scale collaboration-real time coordination across teams, tasks, and resources in a dynamic and risk-prone environment. This research begins to tackle problems of coordination in large-scale collaboration through field research in a trauma center, technology development of mobile devices for real time coordination, and laboratory studies to understand coordination across teams, people, and resources. The research aims to develop a theory of trajectory management and management tools in large-scale collaboration and practical solutions to cross-team coordination. Researchers from University of Maryland Medical School, Carnegie Mellon University, and University of Arizona will collaborate on this research. This project will improve theory in organization science, increase understanding of how to exploit new information technology in critical environments, and improve coordination in hospitals and other vital organizations.

在关键环境中运作的组织，如医院和安全机构，已经演变成以团队为基础的准分散结构。这些组织中的安全、效率和质量性能取决于组织支持大规模协作的能力，即在动态和易受风险的环境中跨团队、任务和资源的实时协调。本研究通过创伤中心的实地研究、用于真实的时间协调的移动的设备的技术开发以及旨在了解跨团队、人员和资源的协调的实验室研究，开始解决大规模协作中的协调问题。该研究旨在开发大规模协作中的轨迹管理理论和管理工具，以及跨团队协调的实用解决方案。来自马里兰州医学院、卡内基梅隆大学和亚利桑那大学的研究人员将合作进行这项研究。该项目将提高组织科学的理论，增加对如何在关键环境中利用新信息技术的理解，并改善医院和其他重要组织的协调。
