Information Specificity in the Context of Medication Information: a Conceptual Analysis

Eeva Aarnio, Reetta Raitoharju, Information Specificity in the Context of Medication Information: a Conceptual Analysis. In: Proceedings of the 30th Information Systems Research Seminar in Scandinavia IRIS 2007, 2007.

Abstract:

Transaction cost theory suggest asset specificity to be one of the key attributes of organization's performance. Healthcare industry is strongly an information intensive field and the sufficient supply of information is crucial for its performance. The current situation in managing medication information is problematic due to fragmanted information sources and, therefore, this article provides a new theoretical view to explore this phenomenon. Identification of different forms of asset specificity provides a broad view for the current problems in managing medication information. A conceptual framework for analyzing such specificities is presented. This framework is illustrated in the context of medication information and practical implications of how to reduce information specificity in this context are provided.
