This is a review for Sittig and Singh's 2010 article "A New Socio-technical Model for Studying Health Information Technology in Complex Adaptive Healthcare Systems."[1]

Introduction and Background

Moving Towards a New Socio-technical Model for HIT

The 8 Dimensional Socio-technical Model Includes:

  • Hardware and Software Computing Infrastructure: equipment and software used to power, support, and operate clinical applications and devices
  • Clinical Content: textual or numeric data and images that constitute the "language" of clinical applications
  • Human Computer Interface: all aspects of the computer that users can see, touch, or hear as they interact with it
  • People: everyone who interacts in some way with the system, from the developers to end-users, including potential patient-users
  • Workflow and Communication: processes or steps involved in assuring that patient care tasks are carried out effectively
  • Internal Organizational Policies, Procedures, and Culture:
  • System Measurement and Monitoring:

Relationships and Interactions between our Model's Components
