摘要

传染病爆发所固有的不确定性;一个全球关注的话题。应对全球疫情,除其他外,需要运转良好的信息系统。这篇论文的目的是理解信息系统背景下的不确定性,并分析在发展中国家背景下正式和非正式的信息实践在识别和应对传染病方面的作用。我们的经验重点是2016年在布基纳法索爆发的登革热疫情——当时人们对登革热一无所知,基于“技术”的正式信息系统不足以应对登革热。根据将不确定性定义为一种资源的工作,我们将基于实践的理论视角扩展为“一般和特定metis”的概念,以描述既不是正式建立的也不是非正式建立的,而是随着疾病的发展而发展的实践。虽然一般梅蒂斯代表的是基于对卫生工作人员所拥有的背景的更广泛理解的做法,但具体梅蒂斯涉及他们在疾病发展时为获取、分享和对信息作出反应而构建的特定做法。我们的论文主要有助于在信息系统研究中的不确定性的作用,以及它如何与正式的,非正式的和新兴的信息实践。

Engaging with uncertainty: Information practices in the context of disease surveillance in Burkina Faso

Uncertainty is inherent to outbreaks of infectious diseases; a topic of global concern. Addressing global outbreaks requires – among other things – well-functioning systems to produce information. The aim of the paper is to understand uncertainty in the context of information systems (IS) and to analyze the role of formal and informal information practices in identifying and responding to communicable diseases in the context of developing countries. Our empirical focus is on a dengue outbreak in 2016 in Burkina Faso- Dengue was then unknown in the context and formal “techne” based information systems were inadequate in dealing with it. Drawing on work defining uncertainty as a resource, we extend our practice-based theoretical lens with the concepts of “general and specific metis” to describe practices neither established formally or informally, but which evolve as the disease unfolds. While general metis represents practices based on the broader understanding of the context which the health staff have, specific metis relates to the particular practices they construct to acquire, share, and react on information as the disease unfolds. Our paper contributes primarily in foregrounding the role of uncertainty in information systems research and how this relates to formal, informal and emerging information practices.

期刊介绍: Advances in information and communication technologies are associated with a wide and increasing range of social consequences, which are experienced by individuals, work groups, organizations, interorganizational networks, and societies at large. Information technologies are implicated in all industries and in public as well as private enterprises. Understanding the relationships between information technologies and social organization is an increasingly important and urgent social and scholarly concern in many disciplinary fields.Information and Organization seeks to publish original scholarly articles on the relationships between information technologies and social organization. It seeks a scholarly understanding that is based on empirical research and relevant theory.
