Employees’ Use of Professional Talk to Handle Workplace Surveillance
Although workplace surveillance is often conceptualized as a simplified dichotomy of control vs. care or resistance vs. compliance, it can be understood as something that employees enact and in which they take an active part. However, surveillance creates a paradox for those who wish to enact professionalism in their work roles. Whereas being transparent and welcoming scrutiny is considered professional, the visibility that comes with surveillanc…
The Role of Information in the Street‐Level Bureaucrat–Client Relationship
This paper focuses on how street‐level bureaucrats understand and manage information in their interactions with clients in the context of so‐called open‐book services, where digital tools make it possible for clients to easily access documentation conventionally viewed as internal work material for professionals' eyes only. Through a qualitative interview study of Swedish doctors regarding the national Patient Accessible Electronic Health Record,…
Patient-accessible online health records
With patients' increasing online access to medical information traditionally contained within healthcare institutions, researchers have argued that the spaces of medicine are increasingly becoming blurred, allowing patients to sidestep their doctors and challenge their prior information dominance. In this context, Sweden has recently been spotlighted as it allows its inhabitants to continually access medical record content online. Based on an int…
Blurring the shoreline
This paper provides a genealogy of the emergence of a common EU flood policy, including the scope and direction of this policy. Noticing how EU policy proposes green infrastructure (associated with using nature as a buffer zone in managing floods) as an alternative to grey infrastructure (implying fixed installations of concrete and cement), this paper adopts the theoretical lens of the so-called infrastructural turn, which advocates a relational…
Off the record
In this article, we draw on Michael Lipsky's work on street-level bureaucrats and discretion to analyse a real case setting comprising an interview study of 30 Swedish doctors regarding their experiences of changes in clinical work following patients being given access to medical records information online. We introduce the notion ofinvisibilityworkto capture how doctors exercise discretion topreservethe invisibility of their work, in contrast to…
Technospatialities and telehealthcare
The umbrella term ‘telehealthcare’ denotes an array of information and communication technology-based solutions for digitally connecting citizens with healthcare services. Guided by the conviction that bodies can be translated into digital data which may serve as the basis for clinical decisions made elsewhere, these designs are widely assumed to enable a mode of healthcare delivery which is independent of space and time. Addressing the increasin…
Medicine at a Distance in Sweden
This paper examines the accomplishment of making technology work, using the discourse around telemedicine in Swedish healthcare during 1994-2003. The paper will compare four projects launched in the mid-1990s and policymakers’ visions of healthcare through telemedicine. I will employ a sociotechnical approach developed within Actor-Network Theory that understands functioning technology not as something intrinsic but as an outcome of an ongoing pr…
