Title
Translations in Network Configurations - A Case Study of System Implementation in a Hospital.
Abstract
This paper reports from an interpretive case study in a hospital of the replacement of paper based order forms for radiology examinations with web based order forms. The aim is to contribute with a better understanding about the implementation of networked technologies in healthcare. The case shows how the implementation of network technology imposes a configuration in the actor-network and illustrates the importance of small steps and translations involving many different actors in the process leading to a new stabilized configuration.
