“…Nesta linha, foi proposta em [13] uma ferramenta (STEM) para avaliação de questões sociais e técnicas entre diversos stakeholders que têm impacto no projeto e implementação de sistemas de informação. Já em [14] foi discutida a aplicação de Activity Theory para análise de requisitos no desenvolvimento de aplicativo para dispositivos móveis. Para elicitação de requisitos usa técnicas tradicionais como questionários e entrevistas.…”

This work presents a study about business and community models intended to be a base for requirements elicitation for socio-technical systems development. The social requirements are difficult to deal with because they involve information about people, organization and environment; however they are fundamental to applying computing systems correctly. This work presents the business models to having a comprehensive view of business activities. In the complementary way, this work presents the community model that represents essentially the people to reach the business objectives. Some advantages and disadvantages of these models are discussed. Finally, based on these models, a simple case is presented and discussed.

In healthcare, collaborative systems serve very different stakeholders: researchers, clinicians, nurses, patients, and administrators for instance. In order to design a collaborative healthcare information system that satisfies the stakeholders' needs, all individual requirements have to be mapped into the software. Traditional system design focuses at technical features and oftentimes ignores social requirements like human factors or organizational structures. Instead of integrating existing processes and working habits into a system, a technical-focused design approach tries to force new behaviors. As a result, stakeholders could refuse to use collaborative healthcare information systems. In line with Kuutti (1991), we recommend activity theory as a rich framework to study and design collaborative information systems. We believe that activity theory analysis is particularly useful for healthcare settings where diverse stakeholders pursue very different goals. This book chapter offers a structured approach to analyze collaborative activities and to design the IT-support accordingly.
