Trust and Sharing in an Interprofessional Environment: A Thematic Analysis From Child Development Support Work in the Community.
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Health information technology (HIT) could aid collaboration in the complex, interprofessional space of child development. Trust between stakeholders is necessary to support collaboration, but extant research provides little guidance on designing HIT that promotes trust within interprofessional collaborations. We analyzed interview data obtained from a heterogeneous group of stakeholders (n = 46) including parents and various service providers to explore trust relationships in the child development space. Our thematic analysis revealed that stakeholders assess the trustworthiness of others based on perceived competence, benevolence, integrity, relevance to work, and source of the data. Stakeholders also based trust on the type of data shared, electronic system features or functions, perceived risks and benefits of sharing information, and made trust calculations based on multiple factors. Our research identifies multiple aspects of trust that should be considered in designs for collaborative HIT systems.
