“…To be functional, I/KM needs more than flawlessly functioning technologies and their physical support (von Lubitz and Wickramasinghe, 2006d;Patricelli et al, 2009). It also requires the adoption of a new intellectual approach to interaction with dynamically changing, highly unpredictable environments.…”

“…It has been demonstrated that information of critical importance for successful interaction with a chaotic environment may be hidden in seemingly irrelevant repositories that are entirely obscure to the majority of responders (von Lubitz et al, 2005;Wickramasinghe and von Lubitz, 2007;von Lubitz et al, 2008). Moreover, although suggestions for their implementation have been made (Auf der Heide, 2006), the notion of 'evidence-based' disaster management founded on the 'best practices approach' used in modern medicine (von Lubitz and Wickramasinghe, 2006d) is still poorly developed in the crisis and disaster management world. Existing databases are predominantly 'platform-centric', widely dispersed, and typically incompatible, and for these reasons alone, they are largely irrelevant to long-range development of preparedness plans and to the development of immediate readiness.…”

The ever-increasing complexity of disasters demands utilisation of knowledge that exists outside domains traditionally drawn upon in disaster management. To be operationally useful, such knowledge must he extracted, combined with information generated by the disaster itself, and transformed into actionable knowledge. The process, though, is hampered by existing, business-oriented approaches to knowledge management, by technical issues related to access to relevant, multi-domain information/knowledge, and by executive decision-making processes based predominantly on historical knowledge. Consequently, as shown by many recent incidents, the management of large-scale (mega) disasters is often inefficient and exceedingly costly. This paper demonstrates that the integration of modified information and knowledge management into the concepts of network-centric operations and network-enabled capabilities, and the employment of Boyd's OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act) Loop-based decision-making in unpredictable and dynamically changing environments, may address some of these problems.

“…Medical networks are also described in situations where structurally complex transmission processes must be controlled, for example, the integration of biomedical research and basic medical research into the clinical, medical and nursing practice (Sheridan, 2007;von Lubitz and Wickramasinghe, 2006). The fields of knowledge transfer and evidence-based decision-making are especially rich in the applications of IT-supported data networks.…”

Long-term care facilities are currently exposed to powerful forces demanding organisational change based on synergy and cooperation. The adoption of network structures is frequently regarded as an appropriate solution to this challenge by health politics.Focusing on the concrete example of the integrated long-term care network for the elderly in the Austrian land of Tyrol, the article aims (1) to explore which criteria the lawgiver formulated for the nursing cooperation structures, (2) to examine which targets and functional requirements the managers of the nursing institutions involved theoretically demand from a network structure in long-term care and (3) to investigate the functionality of the network by means of an empirical study focusing on the processes at interorganisational interfaces.Merging the major findings of the legal, theoretical and empirical enquiry, structural and functional efficiency criteria are derived, which are suggested as a framework for the evaluation of integrative nursing networks.

“…Lack of information and knowledge, their incorrect interpretation or discharge as irrelevant are among the main reasons of disaster management failure [50][51][52][53]. Furthermore, at the peak of an emergency when information accessibility, flow and distribution are of utmost importance; the lack of interoperability among the variety of databases, the information generation systems and the telecommunication platforms utilized by these systems are some of the most obtrusive contributors to mismanagement [54][55][56][57][58][59].…”

Article HistoryEfficient emergency response needs a multi-disciplinary approach which in turn calls for a high level of collaboration and coordination among the involved safety agencies. Furthermore, in order to cope with the complexity, uncertainty and dynamic nature of an emergency, flexible information and communication systems are required. Based on experiences from the military domain, strategic concepts which can improve information sharing and collaboration can be derived and adapted towards enhancing emergency response information systems and operational effectiveness. This study purports to review the state of the art in this field providing recommendations for emergency response policy makers, professionals and researchers.Contribution/Originality: The paper contributes in the existing literature by reviewing the state-of-the-art in the field of emergency response and provides recommendations for policy makers, professionals and researchers towards enhancing emergency response information systems and operational effectiveness.
