“…These additional pieces of information were informal and heterogeneous in nature, distributed across the whole web of artifacts, and they regarded either relevant aspects of the clinical context and the medical knowledge involved in the decisions reported in the records or, more generally, what of relevant was going on in the hospital ward. A systematic analysis of the role of these additional annotations in the context of the cooperative work activities allowed us to identify 13 types of Awareness Promoting Information (API) [16]. These API types regard either a) coordinative aspects related to record keeping and related cooperative work (namely, Articulation API, Responsibility API, Appropriateness API and Schedule API); b) cognitive aspects involved in the interpretation of recorded data and work context (namely, Inquiry API, Change, Provisionality, Revision, Criticality and Inconsistency API); or c) intertwined dimensions of record keeping, work and community life that are partly cognitive and partly bound to cooperative conventions and mutual expectations of the community of professionals (i.e., Deviation API, Quality and Safety API).…”
