Information quality" is arguably the most important information systems construct, and yet there exists no common definition of this construct, or set of recommendations for its appropriate usage and measurement. This paper explores the nature of information quality as a contextual, or fit-based, construct. Using this contingency approach we see that the definition of information quality is dependent on context, and instead of containing a clear maximum (or maxima) is rather comprised of tradeoffs. A call is made for restraint in uniform definition and measurement of information quality, acknowledging its appropriate use based on a specific construct-context fit.

Conceptualizing Emerging Technology in Local Contexts: An Ethnographic Study of RFID in an Emirate’s Farming Industry

Situated in an emirate's farming industry, this ethnographic study develops a framework to help bridge the existing knowledge gap about what and how local contexts interact with emerging technology, RFID in particular. Findings suggest that numerous local factors pertaining to the researched emirate's unique environmental, project, cultural, and societal/political contexts shape and/or are reshaped by RFID implementation. For example, geographic landscape demands systems modification and device adaptation; religious custom increases project difficulty, and the systems, in turn, requires changes in certain religious practice; the notion of social sustainability establishes objectives for RFID project, while the latter helps reshape social welfare systems. As these local factors have rarely been empirically examined, my framework can help contribute to future RFID implementation in different local contexts. More specifically, insights gained urge stakeholders involved to carefully manage unique factors of the emirate or similar contexts for intended RFID projects. The findings also suggest that stakeholders should be aware of RFID's reshaping effects on the local context particularly because those effects might be unexpected.

“…Information systems researchers also study information quality; see for example DeLone and McLean (1992, p. 67, Table 2) for an earlier conceptualization of this concept, and Fehrenbacher and Helfert (2012), Article 8 for a more recent review of information quality aspects. However, in this paper we apply techniques drawn from ACT, which emphasizes transaction information quality.…”

AbstractPurpose -Key findings from recent and relevant studies on patient safety and clinical handoffs are summarized and analyzed. After briefly reviewing process management and accounting control theory, the aim of this paper is to discuss how these latter two disciplines can be combined to further improve patient safety in handoffs. Design/methodology/approach -A literature review on studies of patient safety, clinical processes and clinical handoffs was conducted in leading medical, quality, and information systems journals. Findings -This paper issues a call for research using a trans-disciplinary methodology to shed new light on information quality issues in clinical handoff processes, which in turn should improve patient safety.Research limitations/implications -The literature review employed systematic, heuristic, iterative and practical criteria for identifying and selecting papers, trading off completeness for multi-disciplinarity. No prior empirical patient safety studies combined process management and accounting control theory. Practical implications -The above-noted trans-disciplinary analytic approach may help medical professionals develop more effective handoff processes, checklists, standard operating procedures (SOPs), clinical pathways, and supporting software, and audit and continuously monitor their implementation. Originality/value -This paper responds to recent calls for trans-disciplinary research on healthcare quality improvement. The literature review is valuable for understanding clinical handoff problems and solutions from multiple perspectives. The proposed combination of two theories -accounting control theory and business process management -is novel and useful for describing, improving and monitoring handoff processes in the broader context of clinical processes, using a common terminology for information quality traits. consequences of information technology in health care: the nature of patient care information system-related errors",
