An Empirical Study of Multidisciplinary Communication in Healthcare using a Language-Action Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
Good communication is the basis for effective cooperation. An area where cooperation is essential is multidisciplinary healthcare. In this paper we will present a research project that aims at promoting effective multidisciplinary communication in a healthcare environment. We will answer the question of whether empirical modelling of the communication and cooperation patterns can be done based on a Language-Action Perspective and whether a Language-Action Perspective can be the basis for designing computer systems supporting multidisciplinary communication and cooperation in healthcare. An emphasis will be on the discussion of the Language-Action paradigm for the present work in the context of existing critiques.
