Electronic referrals in the health sector in Norway, challenges on the road from standard to high volume use

The main idea behind the PhD work is to try to find out what the main socio-technical obstacles and enablers for high volume use of collaboration systems in the health sector are. The work will also focus how the results can be used in design, implementation and deployment of collaborative systems in health care, with electronic referrals used as a case.
